The buttons are saying US Navy to me, but I don't know precisely what era - possibly 60's or 70's.
Green coloured top is odd........Is it removable ?
Are there any tags inside under the sweatband ?

Steve.
Nothing is removeable on the hat and I can find no tags or markings at all on it either.
The style is similar to a Greek fisherman's cap in some ways.
Perhaps it was a private purchase item?
Merchant marine?
I think its a early usa police cap
I don't think it is any type of military or police, they would have a place for hat brass. If I had to take a wild guess I would say a doorman's uniform hat. John
Im not too sure but i think it may be an early police motorcyclists hat poss from the 20s or early 30s?, i seem to remember seeing something very similar in one of the old movies
I guess a doorman, chauffer, milkman type person would have worn this.
There is no provision for a badge and that probably means it is
not military, but made by a firm that made military caps.....
Regards,
Steve.
