It came with a plain brown box and I found a mailing label and postmark on the bottom of the box. The addressee's name has the same intials as are stamped in the hat, so I'm assuming the two are related. The postmark is dated January 26, 1959.
Any info about the model would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Michael

Can you show the production labels under the sweat.[/QUOTE]I have not dared to turn down the sweat yet. Is it usually attached to the back side of the sweat itself? In what area of the hat? I'll try to get a look/photo if I can.[QUOTE="Michael A,

Thanks Vic. Here is the best I could get for now,
That guess would tie it pretty firmly to the postmark on the box from January 1959. Cool.mid to late 50's would be my best guess
Do you have any more info about the LEO designation? I can't turn up anything on the web, except the occasional link to hats displayed here on the lounge.mid to late 50's would be my best guess
