I had to remove some vinyl tile this morning and got some real nasty glue all over my pants doing it. I'm didn't want to spread glue all over the people's house so I went to a thrift store a couple of miles away and bought a different pair of jeans. Threw the old ones out. On my way to pay for the jeans I looked at the hat rack and saw this hat hanging there. I wasn't familiar with the name but knew it was a WWII Fletcher Class destroyer. So I bought it for $2.
