Can't answer your question, but can tell you that the name written in katakana is:
ニトベ
Nitobe


in kanji it would be
新渡戸

This style pith was private purchase. Usually have retail label in dome. Tremendous amount of variations exist. Yours is missing sweat band. Can't recall seeing a similar top vent before
