Is it really a 1930's Newsboy as described?

No. Even though I am no expert on caps, the size tag is a dead giveaway. It's made of modern materials as is the liner, and it states that the cap is a size "M". A vintage cap would state the size in numbers. They just look too clean and shiny and new to be real too. I would guess 1980's at the oldest.
Anyone else have an idea?

The '30s' cap is not even well made. None of the panels' patterns match - not very 1930s-like. The 'Fashion Club' label looks very kitschy-contemporary.

Smells fishy to me.
