CAP AND CAP PLATE, 1ST ARTILLERY, PENNSYLVANIA, C. 1840

_USNM 604672 (S-K 819). Figure 165._

[Illustration: FIGURE 165]

The plate on this cap uses only the shield of the Pennsylvania seal

without crest or supporters. It is surrounded at the sides and bottom

with a wreath carrying a ribbon with the unit designation "first

artily." Equally interesting and unusual is the small separate

insignia at the pompon socket. It is based on the 1840 flaming grenade

ordnance device with crossed cannon superimposed.
