This cap was mine as a child. It is in very good shape. I believe it to be real fur. Inside it is stamped DAVY CROCKETT. I got it about 1958. I think it was about the time of The Davy Crockett TV show.
Wikipedia says: Colonel David Stern Crockett (August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was a celebrated 19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician; referred to in popular culture as Davy Crockett and often by the popular title "King of the Wild Frontier." He represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives, served in the Texas Revolution, and died at the Battle of the Alamo. His nickname was the stuff of legend, but in life he shunned the title "Davy" and referred to himself exclusively as "David"
this about the show: Fess Parker was subsequently hired by the Walt Disney Studios in 1954 to play the legendary Davy Crockett, frontiersman, congressman and heroic figure of the Alamo. The shows were a tremendous hit with children and led to brisk sales of coonskin caps.
