This looks to be a chaplains cap.However there is no military insignia on the cap besides the #136
looks to be pre ww 1

If the flask belongs with the hat, the hat must date to the civil war or before.

Intersting that it is made in the US. Once again, this has an Italian feel to it. Might want to check into northern Civil War units from the New York area. The 136th was a New York unit. If you can get a list of the units soldiers, you might very well be able to trace this hat to the units chaplain and then you have some big bicks!

I would have to go with the holy water flask with the cap... I guess looks like more the correct choice

Looks like a Kepi from the US Ambulance Corps of WWI {or was it the Spanish Civil War?}ala Ernest Hemingway -- but that mark inside cap sure looks REPRO to Ralph 
I do know ya call that French-style cap a "Kepi"
CNBC: "Unless the economy adds at least 2.3 million jobs by the end of the year, Bush will go down as the first president since Hoover to preside over a four-year term in which total employment fell."

The cap is too "modern" looking so as I stated before it looks more pre WW1 and not the civil war.
If you check out civil war hats, caps etc. they had the brim more rounded out.
At this time preachers did not carry arms, therefore there was no reason for a "powder horn"[flask]
The day of the powder horn was long gone for the age of the cap.
