It will be difficult to dig it out, as that acrylic display is open only on the back side (and that display tower is jammed into a very tight space). But when time allows, I'll take it out to look at the manufacturer tagging. Guessing it will be Wilson, as I believe they were the Senators' mid-century maker of choice.
Yes, it's a navy blue cap with a white "W" outlined in red. Marc Okkonen's "Dressed to the Nines" website shows this specific cap style was utilized by the Senators from 1948 - 1951. Within that 4-year period, Early Wynn was a Senator only in 1948 (his final year with the team). So by process of elimination, this cap is most likely from 1948.
