Large Lot of vintage US hats - Cadets? Child Toys?
Greetings all,
Found recently at auction, a lot of US style hats. I believe they are for the most part, vintage 1960’s children’s dress-up hats. Interestingly they have a smell similar to other WWII era items I have. A couple do have old tailor stamps, whether this makes them just quality toys, cadet issue or the like I am not sure. The propeller insignia is in sterling, which is also interesting for a ‘toy’ hat. I also find the actual metal buttons and insignia incredible for toys, but I grew up in the ’80’s, when these items were made on the cheap! I guess what I am asking is does anyone recognize any of these caps as ‘non-toys’ or are they all vintage toys? Do any of our older esteemed members recall running around the yard in one of these? cool militaria
Cheers
