Famed '$20,000 Hat' To Be Auctioned by PropertyRoom.com
Known as "The World's Most Valuable Hat," the straw hat is covered in famous signatures.
FREDERICK, Md., March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recently, PropertyRoom.com, an online police auction website, received an antique straw hat to put up for auction. This hat, known by nicknames such as 'The $20,000 Hat' and 'The World's Most Valuable Straw Hat,' is covered in signatures from hundreds of famous individuals, such as Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Rudolph Valentino, and former President Ronald Reagan.
The $20,000 Hat got its start in 1926 when it was signed by famed silent film actor Sessue Hayakawa and was given to Sandy Smead. From there, the hat gathered hundreds of signatures from movie stars, musicians (Louis Armstrong and others), former presidents (including Taft and Coolidge), and highly-regarded members of the military, such as General John J. Pershing.
