21 April 1888 The Weekly Recorder (Conshohocken Pa) April 16, 1897 The Conshohocken Recorder No stranger to endorsing products, Ty Cobb, Major League Baseball outfielder, was willing to lend his name or likeness in exchange for a nice payday. Clothing was one such line, and this straw hat is one of the rarer Cobb items from the early 20th century. Made by "Tracey the Hatter," the inside top of the hat features the company name, "Norristown, PA - Erie, PA - Jamestown, NY" and the name "Ty Cobb." A 7-1/8" size tag hangs from the inside band. The hat has remained in remarkable condition, with just a bit of staining in the center inside, no cracking to the leather interior band, and good condition of the straw.

Tracey, was Norwalk’s health officer from 1893 to 1913. According to Norwalk: An Historical Account (1979), the elder Dr. Tracey “was everywhere—peering into wells and water tanks, cesspools and sewers, privies and piggeries, marking mosquito-breeding pools, examining conditions in the Jail House, and tracking down every single case of typhoid fever.” At a time when infectious diseases and poor sanitation were leading causes of poor health, Dr. Tracey took the death rate in Norwalk from one of the highest in the state to one of the lowest. 2014 William J.
