Brass shako (plume holder) from a Second Seminole Indian War-period (1835-42) infantry dress hat. 7 grams, 2-3/8" long and 1" at its widest. This is basically four long "leaves" of ornately engraved brass tapering to a narrow hole into which a plume was inserted, the brass now quite fragile and lacquered, rare artifact from a sinking that is associated with the loss of a $23,000 payroll during the Third Seminole Indian War in Florida. Recovered from: "Fort Capron treasure," lost in 1857 in the surf near Ft. Pierce, Florida
