Ben, My pill box cap is maroon color, a little faded...yeah it sure does look like the ones you wear. I got that at the 1989 National from Josh Evans almost 20 years ago...I think I paid $300.00 back then. I recall Josh said he got it from someone in Boston..and I seem to recall he said he'd been after it a while. Boy I remember, it really made my National!! I was so happy to get it, I actually went to the National praying I'd find a pill box, and boy did God answer that one...I think it's a classic example. You can see more photos of it on my baseball page. http://www.sportsantiques.com/baseball.htm ...Then at the 2007 I got what John Gennantonio calls a boater style cap, that I've seen in team photos. I figured they were so rare I had never even thought of getting one, so I was surprised to see one for sale in Darla Bernhardt's booth..it has a victorian monogram of the letters LMAC, which obviously stands for some athletic club.
