About the Item
Full Dress La Salle Cadet ``Tar Bucket`` Dress Hat/Shako and Stand
USA, Late 19th Century/Early 20th Century
This nearly pristine 'Tar Bucket' Dress Hat/Shako from the La Salle Military Academy is a striking piece of military history and ceremonial artistry. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, it represents the formal regalia associated with one of the United States' most prestigious military academies, which operated from 1883 until its closure in 2001.
Measuring 19 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 9 inches deep, the hat features a black wool body accented by an elaborate cascading feather plume. A polished patent leather crown, a gilt brass helmet plate, and a leather hat band with an adjustable leather chin strap and brass buttons complete the design. The interior is lined with leather, ensuring a robust and well-crafted construction befitting its ceremonial purpose.
This Tar Bucket Shako is mounted as a museum-quality sculpture on a forged iron pedestal, bringing its total display height to an impressive 30 inches. Its commanding presence makes it ideal for collectors, historians, or as a statement piece in a military or historical display. Beautifully preserved, it stands as a testament to the elegance and tradition of military ceremonial dress, ready to be admired and appreciated for generations to come.
Priced as two items, the hat and the stand.
