Today in 1801: Thomas Jefferson is elected to become the third president of the U.S. This firefighter's stove-pipe hat features a portrait of Jefferson. Worn to identify firefighters' companies at chaotic fire scenes, these hats became more ornate in the 19th century. Portraits of historical figures, patriotic scenes, allegorical images, or company icons were painted alongside the company’s name, motto, or founding date.
This hat was likely used by a member of the Independence Fire Company, located in the Callowhill area of Philadelphia. His initials (W.A.Mc.A) and the date "1847" appear on the hat. ????? #haberdashery #firefighting #Philly
