Here is a rarity. This pic is actually from my family. I was going thru old pics recently and found it. This kid is my cousin and the pic was taken in the 1940s, in west. Texas:

October 1942. Chicago, Illinois. "Salvage. To feed the nation's munitions furnaces, tons of scrap from America's attics and basements are collected every day. Here, a junkman unloads his wagon in a central depot, where the scrap will be segregated and graded for shipment to steel mills."

Everything that wasn't nailed down was scrapped in 1915-1918 during WWI. Civil War canons were disappearing from parks & battlefields overnight.

My caps....I'm not really a fedora guy, I like caps.

One cotton, one wool, one houndstooth, two herringbone and one tweed. The tweed, herringbones

The tweed and herringbones are my favorites for Fall/Winter and of course white cotton for summer.

I have three caps made by Carol at the Hat People in Oregon. She knows how to make caps!!!!
