Lot Number: 766
Description: Rare Washington Senators game worn hat c.1944-46. Great vintage Senators cap with applied "W" patch on front. Interior leather band has # 7 chain stitched in red for sizing and has light but visible Goldsmith stamping. Also written inside the leather band is "18" in vintage ink and alongside is inscribed, "Johnson, Walter". While certainly this inscription was done in the period we do not have any reason to believe that Johnson wore this hat as his head size was 7 1/4 and the last games he appeared in were War Bond games in which he wore the number 21 although it does add an interesting element to this fine period cap. Missing top button on head otherwise generally clean. Includes letter of provenance from Emmett Lanier, signed photo of Lanier with Clark Griffith and General Wainwright, LOA from Phil Wood, and vintage Senators Vendor's ID pass: EX
