Excellent choice Dave. Nice way to honor him.I just picked up this new modern Stratoliner, it was missing it's pin and the vendor was not helpful, an exchange would have cost half the sale price. Yesterday I found a suitable substitute...
My father's brother-in-law Ray Cappelli passed away last year far too young. He was a police Captain, my next door neighbor and friend, he and collected pre-WWII hat pins that commemorated States, Towns and local attractions. His widow didn't want any of the pins, so they ended up at my father's house
I was given the opportunity to go through 6 trays of NOS salesman samples and found this very cool Gloucester Massachusetts boat pin that now lives on my straw Stratoliner.
