New York Yankees hat retains its original NY logo on the front with interior leather band displaying ""Pro KM Cap"" mfg. labeling. Stamped as size ""7"" along with Pro Km logo. Period ""15"" written in black marker under the bill is consistent with other documented exemplars of Munson game worn material including a hat from the personal collection of Thurman Munson, which was sold in July 2008 by Hunt Auctions. The hat itself exhibits strong use appropriate for a catcher inclusive of perspiration toning to both front and back with the majority to the anterior portion. Additionally, the hat size 7 is similar to other known Munson hat exemplars. The offered hat originated from a 1977 charity auction conducted in Killingly, CT. The auction was held to benefit a school sponsored trip for the marching band to Orlando, FL. The school booster club was able to secure various sports related materials from several different professional franchises including the offered Thurman Munson hat. The hat was purchased by the consignor from the 1977 charity auction and has remained in their family until its current offering. Includes an unrelated postmarked Aug. 23, 1977 New York Yankees envelope sent to the recipient along with a secretarial signed ""Thurman Munson"" card stock piece. One of only a scant few documented Thurman Munson game hats with exceptional usage qualities and vintage provenance.
