1920s Cap

This cap belonged to my uncle who lived from 1917-1935. It's too small for my female head so guessing he was young (1920s) when it fit. Made of felt or flannel. Can't read the label except last 3 letters in bottom right rectangle look like "ICE". I've found similar called Greek Fisherman, Fiddler, Breton, Mariner's, Sailing and French Cameret. Have seen none with a number. Any clue what the cap may have been for? Or anything else about it of interest. Thank You.

 

Was this in the U.S.? Where did he go to school?

Sorry, yes US. Lived in NY in the Bronx. I'll see if anyone left in family might know school - good suggestion. Thanks!

 

Perhaps he went to P.S. 34 in the East Bronx.

Public schools didn't usually have special caps for the students. OTH, it might be a band cap. I e the wearer played in a school marching band. Similar:

I'm with Debora on this one, that is the most likely..... Now, if his Name was Mario , and there was a "M" on it , whole other story ....lol

 

Great old photos! Got me looking at others of kids playing and wearing those caps. Thx for the link
