Vintage Train Conductor's Hat With Badge From Orange Empire Railway Museum. Size 7⅛. In very good condition. From 1989. Made by "Caleb V. Smith" uniforms, USA. Model #1872. Front of inside hat band worn down, but the hat is in very good condition. No holes, tears, broken piping.
My father is selling this hat that he used to wear. He was a certified train conductor at the "Orange Empire Railway Museum" in Perris, CA. The name has been changed to the "Southern California... Railway Museum". He was a volunteer there for many years, helping to restore the old street cars from all over the world. He was trained to operate a street car like the one pictured. That's him punching a customer's ticket. Several street cars were run at the museum on tracks that circled the grounds. There is a steam locomotive with Pullman passenger cars that runs from the museum to the town of Perris. I've volunteered there a couple of times, helping passengers on that train. For anyone interested in transportation from the past, the museum is worth the trip.
