What a wonderful find! The Brownies wore this exact style between 1929 and 1933. So this cap was likely worn by a player who went up against the likes of Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Grove, Simmons, and all the other American League greats of the era.

This is a beautiful example with really unique embroidery of the logo. A desirable piece, and one that rarely, if ever turns up. Caps from this era are incredibly difficult to find. I would estimate that this one would fetch $1,500 - $1,800 in a premier catalogue auction with a Mears LOA. Perhaps more, if you could attribute it to a specific player. Great post, and congrats!
