Hoping someone might be able to help me date 2 different vintage (hopefully) MLB hats.

1. Cincinnati Reds hat with a leather sweatband and MLB logo inside. Hat seems to be fairly old based on heavier material. However, there is no maker tag anywhere within. Seller said he thought it could be from the 60s or 70s.

2. NY Yankee hat with a leather sweatband. There is no maker mark within. It does have a Union Label tag inside. The NY emblem is starting to come off, but based on underneath it appears to have been there for some time. I was told this hat could have been a souvenir hat dating around 50 or 60s.

I cannot seem to get photos listed from my phone. They will not upload. I could email them or if someone could post them for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Travis, to make life easier I just uploaded the pics to my flickr account. They are in my "Random" album. When all is said and done here and you no longer need the pics displayed, just shoot me a message and I'll remove them.

The Reds cap is a '70s era souvenir cap. The Yankees cap also appears to be a souvenir cap, either '50s or '60s I would guess.
