Commodore Robert F. Stockton, USN, (1795-1866), Fore-&-Aft Cap, Epaulets, and Vest, PlusLot includes fore-and-aft cap, antebellum dress epaulets, military vest, sash, and Whig mourning document, all belonging to Robert F. Stockton.The Navy fore-and-aft cap is definitely pre-Civil War and was made by R.H. Stevens of Norfolk, a maker not found in Bazelon. Richard H. Stevens was found in the 1851-52 Norfolk City directory, but his address was then listed as "Hatmaker, City Hotel." At the end of the decade, Stevens is listed at the No. 7 Market Square address in the 1859-60 Norfolk City Directory. The dates are critical as Stockton was promoted to Captain in December 1838 and resigned in the same rank in May 1850, about the time that R.H. Stevens is listed as working at the earlier "City Hotel" address. At best, the cap was made about 1850, the same year that Stockton resigned. Alternatively, the cap was made for Stockton to wear (on formal or ceremonial occasions) after he left the Navy.The pair of antebellum dress epaulets date from about the same time. They are regulation for a senior Navy Captain or line officer commanding a squadron as indicated by the star. By the time of his resignation in 1850 Stockton was a senior Captain who had commanded US naval forces in the Pacific during operations that annexed California during the Mexican War 1846-47. The lot is accompanied by a notarized letter regarding provenance.Descended Directly in the Family of Robert F. Stockton Condition: Very good overall.Starting Price: $1500
