I guess it was inevitable that crazy prices would come to the realm of caps. I saw a 1990s Tigers snapback go for $600 a couple days ago, which is more than I paid for any of my 1950s MLB gamers.
I never cease to be amazed by how little research the auction houses do. Just last month, I talked Leland's into pulling a Bob Lemon Indians cap from its auction that was far more likely to be a Jim Lemon minor league cap. Here's one of the most perplexing caps I've seen lately. Jonstats sold it. When I asked for more details about it, all I got was that it came from a reputable collection. It's a Frankenstein — the bill appears to have come from another cap. The crown looks like it's from the 1969 A's. I have 1969 McAuliffe and KM Pro caps for comparison. Plus, the stitching looks sloppier than any cap I have. Quote:

Go Redlegs! Those four Cincinnati caps are off the charts. Who made them?

John:
All of those Reds Caps are to die for... obviously! Jaw-droppers for sure... But yours is the first example I have seen of the early Cap with the "star" at the top. I've seen these intriguing Caps in early photos and in period Catalogs. But never an actual example. Can you tell us what material the brim is made of? It looks really unique, whatever it is. Incredible stuff! |

All but the 34 road were made by Goldsmith. The 34 road was made by Spalding.

John, it is astounding how you have been able to assemble such significant collections of so many varied baseball categories. My favorite is the Peck and Snyder cap. Is that a photo of a team wearing a similar cap?

It’s long worn off...I made the assumption based off the advertisements. Not sure what other manufacturers/hat makers there were back in the day?🤪
The interior leather band is still intact for the most part.... |

Hey Bruce,
I have collected some period statues and a few images with individual players and teams with stars on their caps to pair with it. I’ll send you an email later tonight... |
