A black felt bowler hat with black fine grosgrain ribbon and brown leather headband. The distressed and repaired condition of the hat seems to indicate that it has survived the rigors of the high-energy environment of Chaplin's "Little Tramp" character on film. This vintage hat is stamped "INNO High Life Hatters." Inscribed "M" in black marker pen. In fragile condition with vintage repairs. PROVENANCE The Collection of Mirella and Guiliano Canese PLEASE NOTE: This lot will be on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London until January 27, 2013 and available for delivery to the winning bidder after that date.
