The Ruth notation on the one Leon won looks odd, and maybe recent. But I'd want to see it in hand to be sure. I could also see something like that being overprinted for sale during one of the tours of Japan, and it does look sort of like a Yankees logo on the hat.
If it was typeset I'd like it a lot more than if it's stamped, and if it's laser printed then we can be certain it's recent.

Thanks for the feedback. I do have it in hand and there is no doubt in my mind that the Ruth wording was put on it much later. Those words have much darker lettering than anywhere else on it. That dark black lettering almost looks stenciled. It is not laser printed and I don't think it's typeset either. At any rate I have requested a refund. It was worth the try and the learning experience is almost as valuable as what I paid, imo.
