FINALLY made a pickup!! The pot metal bottle opener on the left is new. I have had the SF Giants version for awhile, but had never seen the NY version. Both were sold by Abercrombie and Fitch. I believe they were made by Loyal Products but A&F must had a batch made just for them. If you've ever handled one of these, you know they're HEAVY! The SF version is most likely 1958, in that the hat emblem is actually that of the Seals. You will see a lot of stuff from the Giants' inaugural west coast season with the Seals logo...it was all most likely produced before the SF team finalized their logo.
