My Grandfather had a white chiefs lid, but we list it in hurricane katrina. And I never found it. He gave it to me for a keep sake, but I was going to put on he's grave. Because I think that is what I feel I must do, but I can't aford a new one. Can some one tell me a price on one,if any one does not mind.
