My best guess is that the hats have no discernable tag or mark that identify them as the 1952 Bowman hats...so maybe they are out there, and are maybe even for sale on eBay, but nobody knows what they are and they are just being sold as old hats?
I'd love to have more info on them if anyone on this board has any.

From looking at the Red Man caps (

Who knows, maybe they all came out of the same sporting goods factory in NYC. There are some vintage 1950's caps for sale online, and they mostly have no manufacturer's label, just size tags.
