helmet

[Raymond Coyer]

When I acquired my VAC I was also given a "pith helmet" hat concerning the Eagle Hitch. I was informed this evening that the hat had become a favorite chew toy of one of our rescue dogs. Are replicas available? I am sure that this sucker was valuable, but the dogs are too. I must have left my scent on it and one of the lost dogs was looking for me.

My uncle Walter, whom I was named after, always wore a pith helmet when working in the field and driving his 1948 Case Orchard Model. I bet it came with the tractor although I don't remember any emblem on it.

They were popular back in the 1950s.I had a John Deere helmet. It was the hottest thing I ever wore on my head.Didn't take me long to get rid of it.
