This one ranks as "item of interest". On auction at this very moment is this rather spiffy looking bicorn:
View attachment 373414
It once belonged to Napoleon and is likely to go for about $1.000.000 to $1.500.000. Before you dismiss it, here's a point of interest: the emperor wore a size 59! So, Max @drmaxtejeda , here is the ultimate in hard to find hats. Relatively speaking of course, because the famous Frenchman would have felt right at home here, having owned an estimated 120 hats, all made by Poupart&Cie. And this is the second hat on auction in a short period.

Vive la France!
Mexico already had an Emperor Maximilian…it didn’t turn out so well.
