Vintage Radio Flyer Ribbed Knit Infant Hat

This item is an original Radio Flyer brand infant knit hat, presented in its original retail clear plastic packaging with a cardboard header card. The hat features a classic red and white horizontal striped pattern with a vertically ribbed knit construction, likely composed of a soft cotton or cotton-blend material. A distinguishing feature is the presence of two small 'bear ear' protrusions at the crown, adding a playful aesthetic. Centered on the front of the hat is a white rectangular fabric patch stitched with the 'Radio Flyer Since 1917' logo in red. The base of the hat consists of a solid white folded-over ribbed cuff. Based on the branding style and packaging, this item appears to be a promotional or lifestyle accessory from the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition appears to be 'new-old-stock,' as it remains inside the original bag, though there is a visible yellowish brown stain on the white brim section which may be due to moisture exposure or aging of the textile fibers. The header card shows the iconic Radio Flyer wagon logo and the word 'HAT' in a designated white box, indicating standardized retail production.
