Lot Essay

Pittsburgh Pirates professional model hat with classic gold embroidered "P" on front with Rawlings manufacturer's label affixed inside the original leather headband. Evident use throughout including puckering to the leather from perspiration exposure. Size 6 7/8 stamped into the leather which is consistent with other documented Clemente professional model hats. Most notably, the hat has been autographed by Clemente under the bill in black felt tip marker rating 7 out of 10. Originated from a private collector who obtained the hat from Pirates scout Ray Welsh in the early 1970s and then subsequently had Clemente autograph the hat at a game played in Philadelphia. In addition to the rarity of Clemente professional model hats we are not aware of another autographed example having been offered at auction including our presentation of his personal collection in 2017. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions (hat) and full LOA from PSA/DNA (signature): Hat: EX, Signature: NM
