wider shot
Thanks gentlman...here's a wider shot of my baseball corner...I got that black case over twenty years ago out of a thrift store in the Mission district of San Francisco...little beat up but works great as I have limited space...I remember I bought it at night and carrying it out to my beater 65' Olds Cutless...No one mugged me and took it LOL!

Hey Carlton...
Mouth-watering stuff. Seeing those 3 Testi Statues posed that way is making me green with envy. Gosh, those suckers are tough to find  Before you put the camera away.... I, too have a favor to ask. Could you post a clear photo of the inside of the Boater Style Cap? I guess a close-up shot of the front would be good, too. I just picked one up from Corey Leiby, and would love to see a better view of yours (for purposes of comparison). Hope it's not too much trouble... Thanks so much, and GREAT displays! Mark

Carlton...
I did NOT get the one you saw on Corey's website. I missed out on that one, too. I expressed disappointment, as I always seem to be a day late and a dollar short with his stuff. But apparently he remembered I was looking for one. So he called me a few weeks later, having acquired another example. Mine appears structurally identical to yours and the one pictured on Corey's site. But it is blue and has an embroidered key on the front. I liked the original example a bit more, but this one is in very nice shape, and displays very well. I'll attach pics in just a bit, as I am tied up with work emails for the next few minutes... thanks! Last edited by perezfan; 03-27-2012 at 11:52 PM.

OK - attached are photos of the one I got from Corey. Eager to hear Carlton's (and anyone else's) thoughts on this one.
Structurally and shape-wise it is very similar to Carlton's, but the material on mine looks a bit different. Mine seems to be more of a traditional baseball cap material, while Carlton's appears to be more of a velour or crushed velvet. That's what the pics portray to me, anyway... If anyone can identify what the Key logo represents, that would be a real bonus. I'll send a small token of appreciation to whoever can positively identify what the Key might represent. Thanks!

Nice Hat
Quote:
http://www.bluekey.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_%26_Keys  There was a Blue Key Honor Society..their logo has the date 1924. But more likely there was a Skull and Keys Fraternity founded in 1892 at University of California Berkeley. There school colors are dark blue and gold....now about that small token of appreciation....How bout that Cy Young tin...yeah that'll work.. Yes I can see the material is like a wool...mine isn't velvet or anything...just plain cloth that looks like it was heavy cloth back in the day but now worn thin cloth...  We all know these hat aren't called boaters for nothing....That is I know they were worn for baseball and rowing...and I believe other sports may have worn them...Mine for instance...it's in my baseball things because baseball players wore them....but there's no way to know for sure if a baseball player wore it...Now if someone had a complete uniform with a matching boater!!!! But boaters are so rare, as a matter of being practical we have to just be happy to get one that looks collegiate...mine has the Victorian monogram, yourn a fraternal key emblem....Now that one Corey had that sold....phew...I think it was Univ of Chicago
