Pricing & History
William McKinley: Blue Wool Sailing Hat inscribed in a period hat on the inside band, "President Wm. McKinley's traveling cap. / BUFFALO, N.Y. 1901." The hat is stamped "Keystone Co. / New York" on the lining in silver ink, and the paper label indicating it is a men's size 7 ¼ remains. The hat is about 3 inches high with a green knit band adorned with two buttons with an anchor motif; it remains in great condition with only the gentlest of wear. It is accompanied by the original exhibition tag used at the 1954 Somerset, Pennsylvania Sesqui-Centennial exhibit that reads: "Travelling Cap worn by President McKinley on trip to Buffalo in 1901." We have previously sold McKinley's beaver top hat in December 2008 for $17,925, which had no association to the assassination. Found among his personal belongings in Buffalo, the hat we offer at present has a direct connection to the tragic event. Grade: 0, Service No.: 0
