vintage souvenir caps

[gashouse34]

Hi Jt39 and welcome to the forum. I enjoy collecting vintage souvenir caps mainly because I think they make for nice displays even if well "loved" over the years. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an active market for them for a few factors I would imagine. One factor might be for sanitary reasons as old hats can be pretty nasty. Most vintage souvenir hats can be found for about $30 or less. Obviously the team and condition would play a role in the value. Yours seems to be in top notch condition so it could demand a little more if you were selling....maybe close to $100 if you had a couple serious bidders. They make for nice collectibles if you are collecting on a budget even though they may not hold much value. I would like to see a picture of your hat. Here is a Browns one I picked up recently. Hope this helps some. Regards, Brandon

Beautiful hat -- I've always loved those old Browns caps. I will definitely post pictures as soon as I'm able.

I'm actually quite glad to hear that these great items seem to be flying under the radar -- as nice as some of the reproductions are, they don't seem to fully capture the feel of the real deal.

I found some old shots of the hat -- not too clear, but it should give a sense of it.



And here it is from a distance, along with my treasured early high school era, ebay hunted beater baseball card display! (Still missing that Mathewson card to accompany Walter Johnson.)

Thanks for sharing, very nice display. I might also mention that the older the hat the more valuable also. If you start getting into pre war hats then they can sell for hundreds of dollars even if not worn by anyone famous. Take care, Brandon
