A propeller cap is a type of hat or cap that fits over the entire head and has a plastic or metal propeller at the top of the hat. These hats are traditionally made of wool and can be a single color or multi-coloured. Today, propeller caps are often sold as novelty items in specialty stores and souvenir shops, as well as used as prizes at various fairs and carnivals around the world.

The idea of ​​the propeller cap originated from the cap that was in fashion at the beginning of the 20th century. These hats were brimless, woolen, and made of different colors of cloth. In fact, at the turn of the century, many fraternal organizations wore caps in their school colors to show school spirit and support.

While beanies have been around since the early 20th century, their popularity began to fade around 1945. It was around this time that the propeller beanie was invented. Author Ray Nelson is credited with inventing the propeller cap. It is said that he was trying to find a hat for a science fiction hero that included an anti-gravity device.

The inventor of the propeller cap actually used a typical cap of the time to make his new hat. It looked so impressive that many of his friends did not believe that he had built the hat. Since the creation of the propeller cap, it has become an American cultural phenomenon. In fact, it has been a popular symbol associated with youth and social outcasts since the early 20th century.

Today’s novelty propeller caps are similar in appearance to a multicolored baseball cap with a propeller attached to the top of the hat. These hats are reasonably priced and available in a variety of sizes at specialty stores and novelty stores both online and in cities and towns around the world.
