Gordon Craig Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Gents,There is an earlier dating system that I had but cannot find at the moment. Can someone else post it please. It is relavant for eary uniforms not for hats. Before the four digit number were issued to manufacturers they often used their names in hats.Cheers,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Alex,Nice hats. Particularly the "crusher". I'd be interested in seeing the labels inside of these hats. Authentic "crushers" are rare and normally date from the 50's.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
