1909 Tasmania Cricket Cap with Provenance

1909 Tasmania Cricket Cap worn by Thomas Henry Elliott in 3 cricket matches as follows: - 1909 Tasmania v Victoria, 1912 Tasmania v England, & 1914 Tasmania v Victoria. The cap is green with a badge showing crossed bats on a map of Tasmania, some damage and moth holes, but believed to be the oldest Tasmania cap known. With letter of provenance from his grandson. (Despite producing many fine cricketers in the late 19th century, for nearly 80 years the Tasmanian side played an average of only two or three first class matches per year, usually against one of the mainland Australian teams, or a touring international Test team, finally entering the Sheffield Shield in 1977-78)
