    Conical shape of some tells me they are standard uniform 'Dixie Cups', brims flipped down for a little extra shade. Anchor clankers are hardheaded enough, I ought to know.
    Took 26 years to figure it out!

    The men along the street look so distinguished! Even the driver is wearing a tie. I sure would love to have one I assume it is electric.
