A circa 1870-1880 man’s vest. Originally purchased at an estate sale in Massachusetts, it is a heavily starched off-white cotton dress vest with a heavy front and lightweight back. On the front there are two pockets and a high watch pocket, no lapels. Down the front are five cuff sized (15mm in diameter) Massachusetts military buttons (circa early 1870’s). These front buttons are fastened with brass back rings in a blind pocket and appear to be original to the vest. There is a belt on the back with two bone buttons (one button is not sewn on at present). Perhaps Grand Army of the Repuplic (GAR), or a non-regulation vest that belonged to an officer of the Indian Wars or may have seen use in the Massachusetts State Militia. CONDITION: Wear along the belt and separation inside the front left at the bottom. Other small (inside) separations. Some stains. Expect other normal signs of age. (#p1671)
