Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The famous fedora sported by Harrison Ford in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom fetched the swashbuckling sum of $630,000 at auction.
Memorabilia company Propstore said the heroic hat was among the more than 450 items up for bids in its US Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction.
"This fedora was made specifically for the second installment of the Indiana Jones series and matches film shots, production stills and behind-the-scenes footage of Ford in the village set on location in Sri Lanka, in the mine cart chase shot at Elstree Studios, and in the river sequence shot in the U.S.," the auction listing states.
The hat was part of the personal collection of Dean Ferrandini, a stunt performer who also wore the hat while doubling for Ford in the film. Ferrandini died in 2023.
If it's not there, no sale.
People like Bezos and Zuckerberg, et al, have the dough to indulge their childhood fantasies.............
A lot of cash for the fedora from the crappy 2nd movie.
Unrealized gains tax on that hat
“Surrender gracefully the things of youth.”
Plus Capital Gains......

Unless you happen to be a multi-billionaire...............
My brother checks those bins at Goodwill and found a Padme Amidala white belt holster it’s all molded might have been for stunts(LOL)and is marked on back from being in the movie Attack of the Clones , he should get it checked ,LOL

Charlton Heston played a real scumbag in that movie ,LOL
Offered up by folk who can make anyone/thing look like something else.
Yeah, good investment, that.
Bet the fishing reel was wizzing on that deal a catch of the day.
#7 Shot comparison of “Secret of the Incas” and Indiana Jones. Spielberg and Lucas stole the idea from that Charlton Heston movie.
