Posted By: <b>Alan Elefson</b><p>Hi-<br /> I recently acquired the cap scanned below (cheaply and at a flea market, what else is new?) and I had a few questions about it:<br />1. Is there any chance that this is a baseball cap? If so, what would 47 stand for? If not, what other sport/profession might have a cap similar to this style? The dealer I acquired it from said he bought it as a baseball cap in Western MA, but he had no specifics.<br />2. How old is the hat? Is there a way to date caps by the interior or exterior?<br />3. Real longshot, but if this is a baseball cap, any idea what team/area used it?<br /> I realize these are "pie in the sky" questions and please realize that I am not trying to proove that this is John Mcgraw's first baseball cap or anything similar, but I figured it is worth a shot posting it. Please also feel free to use this thread to provide any information about vintage baseball caps.<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Alan Elefson<br />aelefson@hotmail.com<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1194377091.JPG"><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1194377109.JPG">
