JORITZ! Case IH Harvester East Moline, Baseball Snapback Hat, Courduroy

Description

My husband Mike is liquidating a collection with the help of a lottery millionaire who loaned him the money to buy the collection!   Mike wrote the text in the next several paragraphs:
FROM HERE FORWARD MY WIFE WILL OCCASIONALLY BE LISTING A SERIES OF ARTICLES FROM WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE  "JOHN JORITZ  COLLECTION".....  HE ACTUALLY **DIED** SUDDENLY ON MY PROPERTY OVER A YEAR AGO.....  A LOTTERY MILLIONAIRE LOANED ME THE MONEY TO BUY THIS COLLECTION..... ALTHOUGH MY INTENTION WAS TO SELL THIS COLLECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY TO PAY THE LOAN BACK AND SPLIT THE REMAINING PROFIT, THE MAN INSISTS ON BEGINNING TO LIST THINGS INDIVIDUALLY SINCE THE GENERAL SALE OR BULK AUCTION HAS STALLED.....  PROBABLY DUE TO THIS VIRUS CRAP!!!.....  ALL THE SHOWS HAVE CLOSED, AUCTION HOUSES ARE BACKED UP FOR-E-V-E-R-, AND BUYERS ARE UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO CLOSE THE SALE ON THE COLLECTION......   THIS COLLECTION HAS A LOT OF HIGH-END SMALL MEMORABILIA, AND THOUSANDS OF ADVERTISING BROCHURES!!!
I met John Joritz years ago due to our overlapping interests in antiques, railroads and in his case, serious collecting of International harvester memorabilia.  He was one of the most knowledgeable individuals you would ever meet on the IH company history!   There are articles in this collection with a direct connection to the McCormick family.
He was a premier collector and excellent historian on IH company and Cyrus McCormick and the Reaper Company that became International Harvester Corporation at the turn of the last century.  He was well known in the agricultural memorabilia world.   People arriving on this eBay site and my wife's site where articles will also be listed will quite possibly be familiar with John!
This is an article from his collection!
It is a baseball-type hat, made of courduroy and has an embroidered logo and lettering of a corn combine and East Moline Plant!
It is new old-stock, never used (tried on though!)
Snapback adjustment.
Nice hat indeed!!
