General Notes

Note

Notes: The 'C' embroiderd on the cap could stand for 'Cherryland', in which case this would be a Cherryland Band cap ! Please refer to the picture of the Cherryland Band [2017.21.1]. The band caps they are wearing are identical to this cap, except for the embroidery on the front.
