Title A name given to the resource World War II Large-Caliber Bullet Casing Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Subject The topic of the resource History, Military Weaponry Description An account of the resource This artifact is a large caliber bullet casing. This bullet casing was fired and used during World War 2 in the pacific theatre from a naval vessel. The casing is made of brass and is a large caliber, likely used for anti-air purposes. Much of the war in the pacific theatre was targeted towards the empire of Japan and eventually led to the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bullets contained in these casings were the most common, and the weapons to use them were installed on almost every major naval ship used during the war. ID: Large bullet casing from the side, top and bottom. The color is brass and has some green/ blue coloring around the side, likely from heat. The bottom is round with 3 small circles and a dent, from where the hammer of the weapon struck the casing. The bottom has some words and numbers, but they are illegible due to the cleaning and shining of the casing. The top has a large hole in it from where the bullet resided and has a small lip around the top. Inside is a rod-shaped piece of metal, likely where the bullet was held in place before being fired. The inside is almost completely bluish green and has residue that looks like shavings from the metal. The bottom of the inside has slight scorch marks, likely left by the gunpowder that was ignited. The sides have some smudges and fingerprints.

Title A name given to the resource Walt Disney World Mickey Mouse Ear Patch hat (Souvenir Accessory) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The Walt Disney Company (licensed merchandise division) Subject The topic of the resource Consumer Products, Theme Park Memorabilia, Branding, American Popular Culture, Tourism Studies Description An account of the resource This artifact consists of black plastic Mickey Mouse-style ears on a headband with a stitched "Walt Disney World" embroidered patch. A widely recognized souvenir and symbol of Disney theme park culture, it functions as both a wearable keepsake and identity marker. The Mickey ear hat originated in the 1950s with The Mickey Mouse Club, where on-screen Mouseketeers established the ears as a Disney symbol. Designed by Roy Williams and first sold at Disneyland in 1955, they evolved across decades: from television merchandise (1950s–70s) to standard park souvenir (1980s–90s) to fashion accessory and collectible (2010s onward). The object illustrates how commercial products become enduring cultural symbols tied to memory, experience, and consumer identity. ID: A pair of black circular plastic ears mounted on a flexible headband. Between the ears is a rectangular embroidered fabric patch reading “Walt Disney World” in multicolored stitching. The ears are smooth, glossy, and symmetrical, designed to resemble the head of Mickey Mouse. The headband is lightweight and curved to fit comfortably on the head, making the object wearable. The overall design is intended for public display as a souvenir accessory and visual marker of Disney park participation.
