Thrill of the hunt, found this yesterday while searching a box. Probably sat in someones collection for years and then spent by a kid!

Nice find!
Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?
Oh, it looks good on you though.
