Vintage U of Nebraska Baseball Cap?
Posted By: Keith
I picked up this vintage baseball cap at an estate auction a few days ago that had a bunch of Nebraska ephemera including some baseball programs. The bidding for the programs got too high for me and I bailed out but I really wish I could have looked through them. The cap is a vintage red cap that shows some age, that looks to have a professionaly handstitched N on the front. The tag shows wear but is readable and reads" since 1838? E. Rosenstein Sons, Rochester NY, Cino-Rubber Visor, Showered Pre-Shrunk 100% wool fabric. The cap is fitted and there is a tag that could be a size tag but it is worn and no writing is present on it. |

Does not look like any "N" I have seen on any of my vintage Husker baseball photos....could be a cap that a fan made? What kind of programs were at the sale and what years were they from? |

Dan, they were U of Nebraska programs and if I recall they dated to the late 50s, but not certain - that is why I wish I had gone through them more closely, but I arrived at the auction just as they were starting and missed the preview. It maybe a coincidence that the programs were there, but I figured I would pick the Nebraksa baseball expert brains on the forum here |

Yes, Brock, sorry meant to reply to that message. They were at a different auction. I go to about 4-5 estate auctions per week (despite my wife's constant request for an auction intervention). I didn't get any of the bats. In addition to the 2 Hanna Bats, there was also a Spalding mushroom bat. The Hanna Batrite bats did have the Bat brand, and if I recall the Goslin bat went for $400, the Hornsby went for $375, and the Spalding Mushroom for I believe $425. |

Hanna bats had the Bat logo design??? Those went awfully cheap if so. |

Yep, they both had the bat brand. The Hornsby had been cracked at some point, but had been repaired with period nails. I was an underbidder, but dropped out. The winner was a phone bidder, and I have a feeling, if the floor bidding kept going, so would the phone bidder. I should have went higher, but I don't know much about the value of vintage bats. |
