Dick.... you would be surprised at the number of people who don't even know who WON the Civil War.
Go ahead and start asking some of the younger generation.... like I said..... you will be completely surprised.

Ok...after 33 years in high school I have a little experience here.
You WOULD be surprised.Most don't even know WHO fought, WHERE it was fought, or WHEN! Don't EVEN get into WWI,WWII, Korea, or Vietnam.It isn't "relevant" to them. Go to YouTube and look at some Jaywalking episodes. Dave

I never thought it was anything other than the top of a soldiers cap.

According to Scott Benjamin/Wayne Henderson Gas Globes Volume 2 on page 234 under Rebel Oil Company they state "...crossed confederate flags with cannon barrel on top of globe face...DIXIE replaced REBEL on reproductions"  So is it a hat or a gun barrel?? I stand by gun barrel.

Just because Benjamin and Henderson say it doesn't make it so.
