Help with Stetson newsboy cap logo

Hello! I'm wondering about the rarity, the approximate age, and approximate value (if you'd like to venture a guess) about this cap.

This is a newsboy-style cap by Stetson. The wool fabric is brown and off-white tweed (with red and yellow specks) with a brown leather band. There are 2 snaps on the front visor, and an adjustable strap in the back. This looks like a child's or small adult's size. The hat is lined with tan silk? or rayon in a linear woven pattern.

The lining is marked in teal, "Stetson" in a circle, with a crest that has a beaver and a winged bird. The mark looks like a deco design to me.

I haven't been able to find another newsboy cap with this particular Stetson label/logo.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm unable to upload my 5 photos (which I have stored on flickr.com)

50's early 60's just a guess. It's more of a flat cap design than a 8 panel or early 20's or 30's style. This style became popular in the late 50's early 60's and is still popular today.

We don't see many caps with this particular liner. But this is not a deco period logo. It's more recent than that.

As a matter of general interest, you may enjoy the Dating Stetsons by Liner thread.
