Default Vintage Wrigley Field Chicago Cubs Ushers Cap

Guessing its 1940's or 1950's (not in hand yet) although they had them in the 1930's and 1960's too, but for the 60's the style & wording changed. They actually started in Wrigley in 1928.

Seems to match up pretty well with the ones in the 1938 Homer in the Gloamin' by Gabby Hartnett at Wrigley Field pix and the 1945 World Series with Detroit and the Billy Goat Curse pix.

Again, I've seen the "newer" 1960's and 1970's style cap at auction before, but not this older version.
