My small collection of pre-WW1 U.S. 1902-1912 officers caps

[24th]

I think I've been able to put together a nice little collection so far. I've always found these hats to be very attractive despite seemingly not getting a whole lot of attention. I assume their rarity has a lot to do with that, but when they do come up for sale they aren't wildly expensive. The closet display needs work but is coming along nicely.

Neat hats, even though I know nothing about them.

In terms long term storage and display, you should't let the caps let rest entirely on their leather visor.
Visor-cap peaks often becames misshapen, flattened, tear from stitches & becames squashed by weight of the whole cap itself.
Super common mistake even in museums.
Simple raised V elevation behind leather visor is good enough, taking the weight off from visor.

I also like your Tank models, and Dioramas. Pressured-air is easiest way to dust them off.

(@Verikauha) Thanks for the advice about storing the hats. I will definitely be getting some new stands very soon. In regard to cleaning the models, I just picked up a mini air compressor solely for the purpose of dedusting the tanks. A scale model business in eastern Pennsylvania closed down recently and I purchased a lot of their display inventory for extremely reasonable prices.
