Chin Strap

HEY! What a great find! I know of a lady in the Portland OR area that still has hers and well put it on for parades and such. Her brothers went to war and she went to 'war' back home making the best ships she could. Lost her brothers but not her spirit! I remember I saw her on here roof once fixing shingels and she was at least 81 at the time!! A different generation for sure! :thumbsup:

That is a really great item!

My term for something like this is "tits"! Meaning, top of the line women's item. I know, It's not an acronym. But you get the picture.
