Official Dallas Police Department cadet hat of jailer Henry L. Ellison. Hat was manufactured by Midway Cap Co. of Chicago, size 7 1/4, and features a typed ownership tag inside, “Henry L. Ellison, #1230.” Top of the hat is made of heavy cloth and bill is constructed of durable glossy plastic, and the gold band wrapped around the front is secured by two “City of Dallas” buttons. In fine condition. Accompanied by a silver “D. P. D.” pin and gold “City of Dallas” button. Ellison’s shift as assistant jailer at the Dallas Police Headquarters was scheduled for 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on November 22, briefly overlapping Oswald’s apprehension and arrival at the building. As a personal item worn by a member of the Dallas Police force who was on duty during the assassination, this is an item of special historical interest.
