In my years of collecting old caps (pre-1980), I had only found one game-issued example from the Rochester Red Wings (late 1940s). A couple weeks ago, I found two from separate sellers on eBay — about five minutes apart. The first one pictured here is from 1956-60 and was made by New Era, and the other is from 1965-71 and was made by Rosenstein and Sons, which was based in Rochester.
