Found a few hats at the thrift store 1/2 off sale. I think most of the charms are from Cracker Jack but a few I don't know. The crossed canons are a military "sweetheart" charm. I wonder what some of the others might be. The R ? - the green enameled one ? - PU ?
I have seen caps like this but do not know much about them. When were they most popular ? Did kids actually wear them?

These were very popular in the 30's and 40's, and children would wear these with pride. Thanks for sharing your find.
Had to look, but thought I had one posted, and yep I did, here's another:

Thanks for the info & link. I checked it out - great beanie !
I wonder how common they were then and now.
Updated photos if you wish to check them, more things on cap that download allows, lol. But did put the "Wings" up.
kerry - nice little Pratt & Whitney wings.
Bellin - I often buy hats that don't fit. Luckily this is way way too small for my fat head.
Thanks for the loves Blunderbuss, Bellin & kerry.
Blunderbuss - it would be fun to burn some BP sometime, too bad it is a little more than an afternoon drive to your place.
This is wonderful . Love it !!! reminds me of Jug Heads hat from cartoons :-)
Mani - seems to me Dennis the Menace had one too.
Bellin - 50 years ago maybe. :)
