Hats off to these pre-wwII cards.....

[Leon]

A recent pick up goes nicely with my Adam Hats avatar so I figure a thread showing some pre-wwII cards with interesting hats might be in order? This premium of Cuyler is from Herbert Hats and is on some unique type stock. It is quite heavy and not your normal card stock. According to the back of it Burke was the photographer...It looks to be slightly trimmed at approx. 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" ..

Or you can show a card of all of the players not wearing a hat......but the mascot has one and with a cig hanging out of his mouth to boot!!

Uh oh - avatar love :eek:

I have a small hat-related matchbook collection, including a few Adams, but none of the ones featuring baseball players.

Here's Ed Eynon, Secretary for the Washington Senators - also a Burke photo. Eynon is sporting a high weave-count Montecristi:

The hats look better on the old gents than they do on today's hipsters.

Maybe it's because the old-timers are also in coat-and-tie.

Yeah and they aren't wearing cheap-a** hats from Target like the hipsters either.

Not the caliber of the stuff you guys posted, but this cabinet has both hats and hats off. “Whites Farms, Middlebury, Conn., Aug. 7, 1907” written on the back:
