Yesterday I re-stumbled across one of my favorite articles of all time so I thought I would share it again.
It’s a lengthy discussion of Brooklyn/Bakersfield/Boston caps. A little taste..
Two things stand out in these comparisons. First, the Lavagetto cap (middle B in top series) looks quite similar to the logo produced on replicas today. Second, the three in the second series all show a much more rounded B, to the point that they look like numeral 8’s with embellishments added. That is clearly like nothing we see produced on today’s retail caps.
A great read here.
Ha! Thanks! My all-time most-viewed post, thanks to you and General Lukas.
Paul can move the numbers…
