14 Days of Cool Stuff I found


I've just returned from a Thanksgiving trip that traversed at least 5 states and covered around 1200 miles. While there I made many discoveries and took tons of pictures of amazing and interesting old things that my grandfather collected over the years. Each day I'm going to post something new for your delight and entertainment.
Did you notice the green hat I'm wearing? Well that is our first item. What makes this hat so special? It is a WWII military hat. Stamped at the factory on May 29, 1953. The wool on the inside of the flip down ear cover has a few teeny moth holes, but other than that, the hat is pristine. How's that for cool?

Frank, I'd tell ya, but I'd have to kill you. Besides, EK might extrapolate my true location and then send Al Gore and his internet police to get me.

You're just jealous. My hat is awesome. Just wait until I post a picture of the confederate bill I made off with. And the WWI German mark.

How's the Fed Pen in Oakdale?
