Also it was not that long past WWII and Korea and many parents felt nostalgic over sailor suits/hats still - also kids were enamoured in the 50s with Popeye and that helped fuel the desire for your own Popeye hat. beachgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145677285299398734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1162926890747095222006-11-07T11:14:00.000-08:002006-11-07T11:14:00.000-08:00If you look through the left corner I believe you ...If you look through the left corner I believe you can see the wishing well.
