Bob Keeshan's screen-worn hat as Captain Kangaroo from the start of the series. Keeshan's endearing character made his debut in homes across America in 1955 dressed in this navy blue peaked cap as part of a captain's ensemble. The cap's Florian cross insignia suggests Keeshan's grandfatherly character was originally conceived as a firehouse captain. The show aired with Keeshan in the navy blue suit and hat from 1955 until 1971, when he switched to a red jacket and omitted a hat from his uniform. Cap is made of navy blue cloth with a black peak and brass studs on the sides. Florian cross made of metal is pinned to the front and features a ladder embossed to the left arm and water vessel opposite. Accompanied by a spare Florian cross pin. Hatband interior is made of leather. Measures 6.25'' across and 7.25 from front to back. Near fine.
