Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A crusher cap is an officers service visor hat modified by army air forces personnel during World War II by removing the wire stiffener, allowing radio headsets to be worn comfortably over the headwear.

Service caps were constructed from olive drab wool felt or gabardine, fitted with a leather visor and chin strap, and finished with brass metal insignia representing military rank or branch.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct manufacturer labels, brass hardware with original patination, flexible leather peaks showing age-appropriate wear, and proper stitching techniques consistent with 1940s military specifications.

Military caps are often displayed on customized head forms, brass stands, or within glass display cases on bookshelves and desk surfaces within modern study or library settings.

Store the item in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, dust wool gently with a soft brush, and treat original leather elements with specialized leather conditioner to prevent cracking.
