Inside Label: Spalding 1905 Yale University Fitted Baseball Cap

1905 was a year of progression and westward expansion. The city of Las Vegas was established and settled. The Canton Bulldogs, one of the first prominent professional football clubs, were formed. The Wright Brother’s sent their third plane into the sky and Rough Rider Theodore Roosevelt began his first full term as President. The ethics and morals of society were beginning to be questioned. The Brooklyn Public Library banned Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. Factory labor regulations and health codes were beginning to be exposed. Enrollment at academic institutions was becoming more prominent and Yale University entered its third century of educating.

This 1905 Yale University baseball cap is currently on the auctioning block at Hunt Auctions. It is a rare eight panel cap constructed by Spalding. It is made from knit grey wool with a leather band encircling the interior. The Spalding logo tag rest on the back interior of the cap. The logo is uniquely hand cut and stitched to the front two panels of the hat. The logo was cut from a thick, navy felt material. At the top of the crown rest a large metal button, this is wrapped in grey wool. Yale University was established in 1701 and to this day remains one of the top educational institutions in the country.
