For the true hat connoisseur.
The Pugliese Pop Culture Collection is a silent Ebay auction going on until March 15th.
The collection “may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled. Approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary. A small sampling of the Collection’s treasures include Houdini’s straightjacket, the Maltese Falcon statuette, Christopher Reeves’ Superman suit, John Lennon’s Abbey Road suit, Elvis Presley’s personal rifle collection and the gun that Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald”
Heres a few of our favorites…
Alex’s (Malcolm McDowell) Bowler from Clockwork Orange. One of my professors once called me “sick” for declaring Clockwork my favorite movie. Priceless instant “droog” credibility. Its expected to go for $1,500-2,000. Or wait for our version.
Oddjob’s weapon of choice, the steal brimmed black felt derby. 1 of 2 made. The last one sold for $120,000. We won’t be offering any weaponized hats.
Original Riddler suit.
There are a lot of other historic items in the lot, like John Lennon’s suit from the Abbey Road cover, JFK’s humidor filled with custom rolled cubans, or Elvis’ Karate Gi. Nigo will probably buy half of it.
