Uniforms Civil War or post war

[DuckNachos99]

I'm not sure about the exact time of manufacture of this kepi. I believe the maker is Baker & McKenney. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Your kepi is a Baker & McKinney and they were at the Grand address (NY) in 1864 and made private purchase caps. Most B&Ms are post war, your interior pictures are indicative of late to post war. Pictures of the side band and crown will confirm late or post. Looks like a very nice acquisition.

You have a very nice post war private purchase kepi. The short brim, side band and bag lining add up to post war. The cap is what is considered a M1872.

Thank you so much.

Even if it does turn out to be post Civil War, it is still and interesting cap.

A nice looking cap. Late war or post, it has a nice look to it.
