DICK TRACY white straw from Disney World

About 1990, when the DICK TRACY movie (Warren Beatty) was being filmed, they were selling at Disney World (Disney-MGM Studios Park), a white straw hat which had the DICK TRACY logo inside the crown. I imagine it was made of braided paper, but I'm not sure. I bought one and wore it for a while. Eventually, it lost it's shape. Since it was cheap, it naturally went in the trash. If I knew then what I know now, I could have salvaged it. Does anyone have one in your collection? Does anyone else remember it? Thanks guys.

I've seen them pop up on eBay occasionally. Didn't really look like much to me, but I've never handled one in person, so I can't really say.

Dixon, thanks to your tip I found two yellow felts. Their value, of course, is entirely sentimental. I'm still looking for the straw.
