Hello,

I thought it could be interesting to post here some photos of one of my last acquisitions, a J.C. Penney Marathon vintage (late 40's-50's probably) hat:

I actually obtained it from another COW member, who was disposing of several Indy-style hats. I know it is not SA, but it is a nice hat you may like to see.

Regards!

As I said in one of the Penman threads, that's the exact hat my Dad wore in the late 50's through early 60's.

No. He just kind of 'smiled' at this hobby.

We lost him to lung cancer 2 years ago this January. He was 81, but had a 'good run'.
