What I was told by the seller was the hat was given to his Corvette Club to use as prize in one of their club raffles back in 1994. The gentleman who donated it worked in the control room at the local Fox TV station in Youngstown. He said it came directly from the promotion department. The seller recall's him making the reference Ed O'Neill was somehow connected with getting the item to the station. Again nothing solid, but still a believable story. What I know is Ed O'Neill was originally from Youngstown,OH. The hat was shipped by the seller from Warren , OH. Anyways I looked up the cap manufacturer (KCcaps) which was started in 1991 and still in business.
Here's the hat to judge for yourselves any feedback is appreciated.
