Name/Title
Band Uniform Cap, c. 1940sDescription
A khaki band uniform hat cap, circa 1940s, made by Pettibone. Believed to originally have been a Michigan State College marching band uniform from the 1940s and when the SMB got green and white uniforms in 1952 the khaki uniforms were given to the Lansing VFW Band directed by Henry Nelson. This hat matches a full VFW Band Uniform belonging to Jess Stokesbury (per the name in the hat).
The name "L. Falcone" is also written inside the hat, indicating that it was likely worn by Leonard Falcone when the uniforms belonged to Michigan State.
