A very interesting piece. Is there significance to the style of hat? I found one source that called it a Liberty Cap, but it looks more like a boater.

I like how the lion stands out with no lettering or other stuff. I think there was a thread here a while back with lottsa lions.

I wondered, too, but my quickish Googling on that got me nowhere.

That, fortunately, made it easier for @brg5658 to do some digital wizardry on my behalf and edit out those pesky white prongs from the photos, so they wouldn't appear in the "shadowbox" template you see at the top in the OP. (I love that style of template, but when you have white fangs suspended in "midair" against a black background, it looks kinda dumb...)

Thanks to @brg5658 and of course @Zohar .
