My search-fu fails me today. Anyone got an pictures/screen caps of Spunkmeyer's baseball cap? At least I think it's Spunkmeyer's cap - the one with the CAT logo on it?

Had this image because of the gyro on the table- but it does show a bit of Spunky's cap:

The logo is the old Caterpillar logo "CAT"

Underneath it says "Diesel Power" and has the "scrambled eggs" on the peak.

Before D-Con I made an exhaustive search for one of these- because it is now vintage and the obsolete Caterpillar logo I couldn't find an exact match.

So I ended up getting one with a little more modern look:

This one says "Lift Trucks" but mine says "Diesel Power".

Try searching for Caterpillar (hat,cap) on the bay- you could try using cat instead of caterpillar but it will bring up hundreds of unwanted hits (The Cat in the Hat thing).

Hope this hepls. :)

Are you 100% it's the word CAT?? Looking at this screen shot the 'A' is off centre to the right denoting more than a 3 letter word??

Or is that just me?

That might be because the patch is attached to a bowed surface.

I went for a more modern approach...

This is my favourite... says "Operator" on the left side of the bill.

This was my first one:

I found one on EBAY once and didn't buy it, and can't find it again. Large CAT logo, and underneath "Marine Power". Shoulda bought it, dammit.

Better? :wink:


To be honest I find the old style trucker hats are rather ugly by today's standards- guady high profile, back half plastic mesh, those 70s style plastic button clasps etc. If you are going SA more power to you, but I actually prefer a more modern lower profile, all cotton hat.


Dom- the first pic you posted is password protected... what folder is that in? :wink: 8)


John- Joe Ranger had the exact gyro back in '04. I had it in my posession for a bit after he left it behind at D-Con. I sold it on ebay for him.

You can find the gyro by searching for "kinetic" or "perpetual" motion.

Ahhh, but you know how style and clothing trends have a habit of repeating themselves. That logo could be the hottest thing in the Aliens universe. :)

Sorry for the off topic but adonis asked for the perpetual motion sculpture. I have one I bought years ago at Spencer's Gifts. However this link looks promising. I think there were a few different types of sculptures and they all may be found here at a reasonable price.

They might have had this made for the movie, I don't see the registered trademark symbol. They could have blacked it out I guess, but I haven't seen a skinny font like that.
Going back to the '70's CAT is much thicker and has the little R

Most on facebook know by now what I'm using it's very close. I removed the patch and am in the process of obtaining a SA CAT Deisel Power patch.

Here's it without the patch hanging on my MK 14a 8)

It's a good buy at £25 and it completes my costume nicely. :P
