<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 1818509, member: 33&quot;]I thought I had posted this somewhere and somebody came up with a very interesting idea as to what kind of costume this man was wearing in the 1890s. But I can&#039;t find it in these forums through a search. I also searched the Archived Antiques board in eBay and couldn&#039;t find it. Also looked in the Victorian Images group on Facebook, where I&#039;ve posted a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this is a cabinet card photo from my collection. I bought it as part of my collection of people wearing costumes, not thinking it might be a particular type of costume. I just thought it was a funny masquerade or Halloween costume. Well, somebody suggested a very specific meaning that I did not write down! Seems it might have had something to do with a religious or fraternal group? Mind you, this was taken in Nora Springs, Iowa, in the middle of the rural part of the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas? Or do any of you remember a previous discussion about this? Thanks for any help!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]241070[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
