Wise/Ed: I have a copy of the suited dude w/hat. It is printed in a frame in the part of our garage where I hang my skateboards. I do not have any hard wheels or unsealed bearing races anymore. Darn - I should of hung onto those boards! They could not have been antiques, as I really used them and they were beat, but just the good times and memories would have been worth seeing them on the wall of our garage.

Love the pic. Love this thread.

Ooo, look, it's the first picture from the 'Time Travel Challenge.' Must have taken his $50.00 in pennies, hence the two bags.

April 28, 1948: This photo ran as part of a two-page photo essay about the “Washington scene.” The hats, piled on an eight-foot mahogany table in the lobby of the East Wing of the White House, were deemed “a barometer of presidential activity,” the caption read. “All but the most important visitors leave their gear here. This collection was deposited by a delegation of magazine editors who obtained an appointment with the president.”
