HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.

...Anyone ever put a playing card in their ribbons?

Playing card, no. But, just for laughs, every once in a while I've stuck one of those phony baloney "PRESS" cards on one of my hats:

Co-workers and friends who appreciate old movies got the gag immediately, others looked puzzled for a while until they worked up the nerve to ask me about it.

One of my favourite 3Stooges episodes (or was it the Marx Bros?) had two of them with the fake "Press" in their hat ribbon that they stole from a door. The third one had a "Pull" sign. As a kid I thought that was about the funniest thing I had ever seen.

I picked up a Montana Silversmith Hat Pick at Buckaroo Hatters this past Friday.
I placed it on one of my summer straws. View attachment 602196 View attachment 602197

This is a very worthy adornment if ever there was one Rusty.

Wow, I really like that! Very cool!

That's snazzy! Hat pick, eh? I might have to look into those.

Anyone ever put a playing card in their ribbons?

Not sure anyone ever lived to tell about it around here. Def not Eights and Aces.

Had a jeweler convert some enamel pins into hat pins so that they would slip flat behind the ribbons.

On the left is a mythological sphinx holding the head of a man that failed to correctly answer her riddle. The pin on the right is a harpy.

It was indeed The Stooges. They used the gag in one short with Curly, and again with Shemp after Curly had to retire.

You're showing your age, B. Not many "kids" under 40 yrs old know about Aces and Eights.
