Offered is a Philadelphia Athletics cap dating to circa 1958. Supplied by the Tim McAuliffe company, this 6 panel, 8 stitch bill dates to circa 1958 due to combination of the McAuliffe manufacture and KM stamp. The all navy crown and bill is adorned with a white embroidered “A” sewn onto a die cut patch. The Tim McAuliffe tag is attached to the leather head band, which shows slight separation. Both the “KM Pro” and size “ 7 5/8”” is factory stamped into the band. The cap shows medium game use and remains in excellent overall condition. “E.J.” (Eddie Joost) is written in the brim in period ink. Joost was retired by 1958, so not sure if this was issued as a coach, instructor, spring training, old timers game, etc. (88Q0126)
