    Ebbets I think are making some of them with short brims. The Buckram is soft inside, not plastic like the Stall & Deans, whick I think, not sure are contracted from new Era. If you email Will at Ballcap I think he will still make caps. I think it is just the MLB stuff he can't make anymore...

    Firemans Helmet

    A close up of mine shows these heat cracks. I must say that holding one of these old leather helments in your hands, well, they have a presence about them that is hard to describe.

    Thanks for sharing those pictures. I have been contemplating an eight panel from them. I have a 46, and now a 56 Redsox cap from them, and I must say they ate the most comfortable caps I have ever worn.Here's a typical 6 panel from them.

    Firemans Helmet

    Definately an older one. There are two styles, a Sam Houston and a New Yorker. I think the ones we have are New Yorkers. Look at some on Ebay to get a general idea of their price. Some people have good info on them as well.

    Firemans Helmet

    If the inside medallian says Clifton NJ it's probably fifties to present. If it says New York, it is an older one.Don't quote me on this but I believe they moved to New Jersey in the fifties. Old leather Cairns & Brother fire helmets command a high price these days. If you know the town you may...

    Retro-fitted, modded modern cap to vintage style

    Deanglen please post pictures of the Cooperstown ballcaps. I have started collecting them as they are the most comfortable. Heres a 46 Redsox cap. They have soft buckram and you can get a ton of different logos including solid colors to make your own. The B looks a little bright from the flash.

    I agree with the comfort factor. The leather and brim don't dig into your head. Got any pictures Johar? It's hard to find actual photos of these caps.

    Hows the cap John? I ordered a 56 ballcap from them last year. They have three different cuts, short regular and full. Regular being the norm. When I got it I had some confusion with hat volume. They took it back and made a short cut, which just blew off my head with the slightest breeze. They...
