Manufactured by Goldsmith, this 6 panel, all black cap is trimmed with white stitching and an
embroidered “W”. Issued with the small 8 stitch pattern brim. Goldsmith is factory stamped into the
interior of the leather brim. “18” is penned in vintage ink and consistent with Alex Carrasquel number
during the time. As a point of interest, Johnson, Walt. Is etched into the leather band. We are unable
to substantiate whether or not this was worn by Walter Johnson, but he did coach later in life, and
Carresquel was a pitcher with Johnson’s former Senators team. Very good overall condition, with some
damage to brim fabric covering. (N0254)
