We continue to see countless boys wearing rounded crown hats in the 1870s. We notice American boys continuing to wear rounded crown hats after the Civil War. It was the single most common style of boys' headwear throughout the decade. We see many examples in the photographic record and boys of all ages. We see a tin-type of two school-age brothers wearing rounded-crown hats abd identical suits, we think in the 1870s. They look to be about 7-10 years of age. Another example is unidentified boys in a rural scene. The tin-type is undated, but we believe was taken in either the 1870s or 80s. The boys look to be teenagers.
