Found! USS Oakland Cap

from the Sawyer Free Library Facebook page;

This cap was left at the library – does anyone know who it might belong to? I’m sure it is important to it’s owner!

“I know how valuable these are to Our great Veterans. Please help it find its Owner”

If so contact the Sawyer Free Library.
