Item Description
5x10" felt cap w/same silk screened design on each side. Text at top reads "Mickey Mouse Beverages" and below this is image of Mickey saying "Have One With Me." Comes w/seven bottle caps. On the brim are the names of the six characters featured on bottle caps. 1930s and stores supplied these hats for mounting of the bottle caps which were issued w/brass pins in order to affix them to the cap. We believe there are a total of 12 caps in the set, two different images per character. Each tin litho cap is 1" dia. and all are complete w/brass pins as issued. There are two different Mickey caps for "Orange" soda, two different Minnie caps for "Lime" soda, one Goofy "Lemon" and two identical Horace "Lemon." Hat has st. fade and trace of aging which includes a pair of 1/8" dark brown spots at one top corner. Bottom edge has some tiny scattered brown stains, however, silk screened design on both sides remains strong. All caps also have some darkening of the paint, scattered tiny paint nicks and/or tiny indent or two on rim edge. Color and images on the caps remain strong. Bottle caps are VG to Fine, hat is about Fine.
