    This authentic conductor's/brakeman/flagman's original
    M. Linkys and Bros.,
    Boston, Massachusetts,
    'Head-Master'
    vintage sewn cloth and glossy, laminated black visor cloth cap, is now missing some small brass grommets used for venting trapped air away from the user's head. Other than the missing original brass grommets, the front of the cap has an old, oval area that's darker (not a perspiration stain) which amounts to the shadow where the identifying metal railroad badge was suspended, tied to two now missing brass stars on each side of the cap, connected by most likely gold twisted cord. There's an after-the-fact, hand-stitched threaded repair, which was apparently done quite some time ago. This amounts to a small mend on the top front and on both the top side and a bit on the black cotton lining on the inside, around the corded back of left side edge. It has some type of natural organic fiber, stiff grass or straw liner on the inside of the cap to support its form, with a soft, perforated, circumnavigating leather perspiration band as well. Great olive and gold vintage fabric color with a nearly undamaged laminated, curved, stubby, front black visor.
    Marked on the sewn-in, transparent clear plastic label on the interior basin of the cap. It's missing some of its original component parts but is still an authentic, original
