Stunning Freemason Knights Templar beaver hat with ostrich feathers. Two buckles, belt clips (?), and leather cuffs. In a custom metal box which reads:
Chas L. Hoff
Reading Comd'y No. 42 K.T.
Reading, PA
I did a bit of research and it appears he was born in 1853, the box also looks as though the name Albert may have been previously painted on it.
***All of the pieces show some wear appropriate for the age, the feathers are shedding and there is wear to the edges of the hat. More photos can be viewed on our Facebook page:
