I noticed the Eau Claire bears hat and really like it. Would you consider selling? I have an interest in local baseball clubs and have a few Eau Claire items in my collection.
Attended the Otey Clark estate auction yesterday and picked up a few items but the hats were it for game used. There were a few other game used items such as baseballs and his glove but family members felt they needed to stay in the family and bid accordingly. Oddly enough, they were not interested in the hats.
1941 Moline Plow Boys - Illinois-Indiana-Iowa league
1941 Eau Claire Bears - Northern League
Not sure on the other two. One may be from St Peter Minnesota as he played with them in 1955. Wishing the other would be a St Paul Saints but; 1) he never played with them, and 2) I don't think they ever had a logo with just an "S".
And yes, they are sitting on top of a garbage can. They stink and need to go to the cleaner before coming inside.
Also, thanks to photos I found out that one hat I have of his is not a Louisville Colonels like I was told when purchasing it, rather a 1940 LaCrosse Blackhawks hat.
In total I have seven of his hats. The above mentioned five along with a 1942 Fort Worth Cats (Texas League) and his Red Sox hat.
