All buttons have raised lyre design. Appears intact. Shows some discoloration at fold of collar. Label on inside breast pocket says "Craddock Uniform, Kansas, Mo." Jacket belonged to Edgar Zobel of Ripon (b. 8/10/1883 d. 2/25/1969). See Zobel Family files for his music career. From a photograph of Edgar Zobel and pamphlet "Grand Concert of the Wisconsin Bandmasters Assoc., March 26-27 1938" in the Zobel Family file we can be fairly sure the jacket and off-white wool flannel trousers were worn together as was Cap # A 2003-31-1-139 C3. the trousers show slight wear and a few small moth holes. Edgar Zobel was President of the Wisconsin Bandmasters Association in 1938.
