When were genuine Boyd caps made?

Genuine Boyd caps were made from the late 1940s until around the early 1970s. These caps were produced by the Boyd Cap Company, which gained a reputation for quality and style during that period. After the early 1970s, the original company ceased operations, and subsequent caps may not be considered "genuine" Boyd caps. Collectors often seek out those made during the original production years for their authenticity and craftsmanship.
