This piece is a brass hat plate measuring 5.25” in diameter. Stamped brass is ribbed giving the sunburst effect. A pointed circular disk is attached at the center. Two brass attachment wires are soldered to the back.

A rather showy, but typical of the pre-Civil War period, hat plate for shakos and other tall militia hats. This piece is in very nice condition with a mellow brass patina.  [jet][ph:L]
