Vintage Hats

Looking for some information on these 2 hats I just received. I haven't really dabbled in hats before so looking to see how old they are and if they are baseball hats? Thank you for any information.

I don't know much about hats, but they look new to me. The stitching is modern.

I think they may be Disney or cartoon character hats.

college caps
 
Those are college class caps...common 19th early 20th century...I think they were sold by pennant companies and maybe sporting goods catalogs...a variation were the fraternity caps I believe...

Carlton is spot-on as usual. I have also heard them referred to as "Freshman Beanies". Unfortunately not baseball-related.

Perhaps from Faber College? 😉

It used to be the symbol of a college freshman.
