Very cool! That's in great shape too, what a fabulous piece! Idk where folks come up with such great game used stuff from so long ago, I haven't seen a Montgomery Rebels gamer since I was a kid and they were being worn on the field. I like to dream there is a country barn somewhere packed with uniforms and old gloves just waiting for us to find.

May I ask, how do you store/display a classic cap? I have some modern game used hats but no idea how to display more than one or two, so they usually stay in a hatbox.

Also, same question for anyone with game-used batting gloves, which I have about a dozen pairs of. My wife hates em, says they look like primitive war trophies, so I don't display em! haha Any suggest for how to display them tastefully would be welcome!

I store them in plastic bags in a plastic container to save them from the bugs. I also display a few in an antique case that's kept them safe. I'm building a website to display them.

Here are few more Southern Association/League caps, including the Atlanta Crackers (late 1930s), Asheville Tourists (late 1960s) and Charlotte Hornets (late 1960s) ...

Wow, incredible condition on those! Amazing, what fabulous finds!
I kept some stuff in bags too until recently when an archivist friend practically knifed me for doing so, now I'm kind lookin to find a new storage that wont lock in our abundant southern humidity.
