We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Is this what hold tags used to say??
growing up in wyoming where nearly all older men wear cowboy hats, my father had (has) a very similar card in the inside of his hat.
I love this. I don't know why, but it's just perfect.
I should start putting similar notes in my things.
Don't steal mine, steal theirs! Fucking brilliant!
uh-oh! better put it back!
This is why I love thrift stores. All the stuff has a history--and, when you're lucky, you get to find out (even a little) about it.
I'm going to put that note on my car window from now on.
BACK OFF BITCH!
<br>
<b> ITS MINE!
Hahaha! Such a sense of humor! I do love thrift stores--there is always so much do discover!
christ tits, kiddies, dont be so gullible... Im from Maine and everyone wears beaverskin caps, not fedoras
I especially like that it was a freebie from Herrick Company Sheet Metals and Supplies. "No offense intended, friend -- this card is given in the spirit of fun." I don't know any businesses who give away "fuck you!" cards anymore! Although why not? -- that would be good on pens, wouldn't it? "Put down this pen and STEP BACK."
i suppose they had to put an "apology" note underneath incase anyone got offended by the use of "hell"..... i suppose it was the equivilant of someone with a bumper sticker saying "like my driving? call 1-800 fuck you"
hahhaha
oh, mainers.
gotta love 'em.
(i go to school in maine, and seriously, i love them)
I think some people need to put this label on their girlfrieds/boyfriends. lol
One of my all time favorites! I want to make reproductions for all my stuff!
My dad had some old hats with cards like this, except they had more class. They just said, "NO, this is NOT your hat--PUT IT BACK!"
Call me old, but I don't think the profanity makes it any more effective.
This is my favorite find so far. I can just imagine the reaction the first time Robert's hat got picked up by mistake.
i would love to see this on "hey, that's me!" i don't know why, i just would.
Steph- that would be funny if people wore shirts like this, but I like the labels idea too-hilarious
I like the idea of 'Put It Back -- and Take Another' -- i.e. it's all right if you nick somebody else's hat but don't nick MINE!
I don't understand ... If you are gonna steal someone's hat, is this little note tucked into some conspicuous corner supossed to stop you? If that's true I need a couple copies of it to protect my stuff!!!

thats exactly what i was thinking
ste-fanny: back in the days when most men wore hats, it would have been easy to get your hat (in a coatroom or a hat rack or something) mixed up with someone else's hat that looked similar. i assume this tag is supposed to alert them that no, it isn't their hat, before they put it on.
Because there is only one Robert in Auburn, Maine.
my grandpa george had this same exact card in all of his hats! He said he needed it becuase his ears got cold easily. he was pretty rad.
I'm a costumer through my work know that you can still find these labels in men's hat shops that still make there own (new) hats (there aren't that many around anymore, unfortunately). It's obviously some kind of great tradition--may it live on!
hahaha thats to funny.
I live in Maine, it's pretty awesome.
So is that card.
This is amazing. I'm printing this out and putting on everything that I own. I mean it.
My car, my shoes, my silverware, my Pepsi, towels, pens, books, socks, shirts...I mean it people...everything.
Like Hell you'll stop me!
Inside the CD booklet of his album <i>The Road to Ensenads</i>, there's a photo of the inside of Lyle Lovett's Stetson. There's a label, with the inscription "Like Hell It's Yours" in large type, under which is the usual "This Hat Belongs To", with LL's name and home town typed in beneath. This, of course, ties in with the lead-off song on the album (with the line "You can have my girl, but don't touch my hat"). Hey, it's a Stetson. ;-)
