Interesting Gamebird, for sure! It has a 1940s factory label, but the coach logo (though not in gold, very unusual), which I've always thought to be an early-'50s logo. Best guess puts it circa-1950, then. This Gamebird ad from November 1949 looks a lot like it, so I may have to revise the use of the coach logo. Note that the ad also touts the Individu-Ovals, which your hat is, if you look at the fraction to the right of the 7 1/4 on the factory label. That type of sizing doesn't show up very often. You may very well have a 1949 model Gamebird there.
