I have always been a fan of ballcaps, particularly unique and whenever possible rare caps.  A few years back I learned of a small company in Cherry Valley, New York called the Cooperstown Ball Cap Co., which was run by a woman, Susan Whitmore.

 The website offers only a few actual photographs of  caps they produce while the majority of their deep catalog offers illustrations of the caps and colors. One of the most impressive things is the amazing collection of authentic historical caps, not only from Major League Baseball(including its earliest years) but also a plethora of caps from throughout the history of minor league, amateur, armed forces, Literary(yes you can get the same Bad News Bears cap as worn by Walter Mathieu), Native American, Railroad, Trans-Carribean leagues and my favorite,  Institution Leagues...

I took a chance and ordered up a cap years ago and was shocked when I received the handmade beauty, fully handcrafted and definitely closer to what ball players actually wore back in the day as opposed to the mass produced caps that fill shops today.  

Please pay them a visit and if you love truly handcrafted quality and rare caps.
