1930s MLB Baseball Folk Art Beanie Hat with Tab Pin Buttons

This 1930s folk art felt beanie hat is covered in an incredible collection of 75 vintage tab-style MLB and minor league baseball tab pin buttons. Mounted on a brown felt cap, the buttons include early lesser-known teams like the St. Louis Browns, Salt Lake City Bees, and Toledo Mud Hens, as well as iconic franchises like the Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees, and Cardinals.

These pinbacks are hard to come by individually—seeing this many in one place is exceptionally rare. Each one reflects the visual history of early American baseball and together they create a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable sports folk art. Whether displayed on a shelf or as part of a vintage baseball collection, this hat captures the passion and design of 1930s baseball culture.
