ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $200.00
Winning Bid: $196.65
Price Realized: $235.00
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

One fashionable Detroit Tigers fan in the mid-1930s wore this bucket-style souvenir hat. Orange cotton shell with black felt roaring tiger logo over the black brim was a stadium staple during the Tigers' World Championship years of 1934 and '35, the better to keep the sun out of one's eyes to see the likes of Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer and Schoolboy Rowe. Great '30s baseball curio, probably never found in the stye section.
