 I have also never seen one so clean as this one, inside and outside. I doubt its ever been worn, and zero fading. Like its never seen the light of day. Visor is also perfect. Still pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming

My grandfather had one of those.  But by the time I found it in his stuff the cotton fabric had disintegrated.  There's a great picture of a guy wearing one in Harlin Major's classic book.  I think the photo was taken at Boca Chica beach which is now part of the SpaceX Starbase.

As a Philly guy, this stirs up pride in our city's industrial past.

Why doesn't PENN make some new retro hats not rocket science & I would surely "need" one myself.I have a modern Penn hat blue
w red logo.The retro looks better.

It's a great idea but I doubt they would want to use the old logo.

Nice cachucha Ted!  You and Chris seem to have found a crease in the space/time continuum to find these gems
