Default Vintage U of Nebraska Baseball Cap?

Posted By: Keith

I picked up this vintage baseball cap at an estate auction a few days ago that had a bunch of Nebraska ephemera including some baseball programs. The bidding for the programs got too high for me and I bailed out but I really wish I could have looked through them. The cap is a vintage red cap that shows some age, that looks to have a professionaly handstitched N on the front. The tag shows wear but is readable and reads" since 1838? E. Rosenstein Sons, Rochester NY, Cino-Rubber Visor, Showered Pre-Shrunk 100% wool fabric. The cap is fitted and there is a tag that could be a size tag but it is worn and no writing is present on it.
My questions are: can anyone help me date this cap? Could this be a U. of Nebraska game cap? Would teams get their caps from suppliers such a good distance away?
thanks guys
