    Dick-
    Were the pom pom hats the hats that would be personalized with the kids' name that was done on a stitching machine?
    Would those machines be available now? For the record I am NOT going into the hat biz; just curious.

    However, at the mall the photos with Santa started at $12.99 plus tax for a 5 x 7 in an oversized frame.

    I would say yes Mike they were probably personalized. Sid Daniels, a patch on the Million Dollar Midway used to have hat joints back then and a gentleman named Freddie King was one of his agents for years.
    Then the man that taught Bill and I the floss and apple joint also had hat joints on the Royal American Shows. Beleive it or not his was Freddie King also. No relation to the first Freddie Kine!
