    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    My great Uncle, U.S. Army SGT Joseph Howard (and friend?), a Field Artillery veteran of the Meuse-Argonne campaign, awaiting his transport ship home from France, 1919 – he knew how to wear a campaign hat!

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    It was a great, traditional/business clothing store (though no hats that I recall) - they were in the Westshore Mall when I lived & shopped there in the '80s, but I don't recall if they had any other stores. EDIT: Apparently they still had a downtown store (not sure I went there) and were...

    Like-New Panama Straw Open Road – Size 7-3/8

    Thanks - I tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser today with a little success. I don't think it will come completely off, but trying to make it a better looking beater. The replacement OR arrived today.

    As a follow up, I have now also used a large eraser on the stain & while it has not removed it, the staining is much lighter. And after all this abuse from cleaning attempts the hat is holding up fine, but has gotten much softer.

    Thanks Jeff - I have learned my lesson. I told my wife the same thing last night - that I am glad it was the OR and not something that couldn't be easily replaced.
