Glenster,
Around the Waterloo, Ia, area where I grew up during 1940-1955 we never saw any seed corn caps until the 1960s. I dont" think seed corn companies were giving them out in that era, at least not many of them. Straw hats were the norm in the fields (for tractors without umbrellas), with the occasional "soft" cap that looked kind of like today"s baseball caps. I don"t recall any IH caps, but maybe there were a few of those. Even though we lived close to the JD plant, those put-puts were outnumbered by red for a good reason. LA in WI
 
Hey Glennster!!!

Yes pith helmets, seed corn caps not popular in this area till the late 60's.

Answers to other questions: Doing good, No, No, A few, yes (many)

I will post more.
