When my Mom was first dating around 1939, she was out with a boy who had pins in his car, stuck up in the headliner. I guess that she liked this one, as it came home with her after one date, unknown to him. A little remembrance I guess. When I got my first car in 1977 she gave it to me to put in the headliner. It now resides in my wife's jewelry box.
