This was found in NY? I cannot place the face, but kinda looks like George Washington???

wishfull thinking!..It looks like a young man, on the sides of the head are ropes with knots at each endalmost looks like a hermes head with the type of helmet he would wear..i dont have a clue..

Just a wild guess--- Pigtails not ropes, and skull cap, possibly hisidic jewish.

 

[Frase44NY]

never thought of that, but no these are defineately ropes. Good guess though. Thanks!

Has the look of a horse jockey for some reason.

 

[GoGoGopher]

Now I am wondering if it is horse tack???

HH,

Was initially thinking horse jockey or more remotely -possibly a miner ?

If it's complete, clean it and wear it. A great conversation piece and something to show while advertising our hobby to newcomers.
