Henry, I have no reason to question your collection, not being a collector myself I do not now the real deal from a reproduction. I will be the first to admit that I would not have a leg to stand on in a debate about authenticy of any given item. I have no stake in disputing what you contribute her...

Henry

Henry, I did not start this thread only posted a few facts when you decided to come out of the woodwork and insult me and the person that bought my hat. When I sold him the hat he knew the absolute truth about the product that I sold to him. The COA will state the facts about the hat. No more and n...

Henry

However estimates can be placed on items based on thier significance in the film, rarity on the market, trends, and other important pieces that have sold from that film. Yes, but if nobody buys them at the estimated price, then a new market value has been set. So, in the end, all of this is only wo...

That's definitely a 1950s (maybe even 60s) Stetson.

Interesting.

Not sure about that as I am no expert in hat styles. It was used in TOD, and that is what matters in the end.

Not sure what you mean by luck. The lucky part was getting it.

1999 Indy Staff of Ra Head Piece (Not screen used/ was crew gift) $60,000.00 2008 Indy Staff of Ra Head Piece (Not sceeen used) $2,403.00 So, where is the market price set then? Wait! I know where. THERE IS NO MARKET PRICE!!! It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. None of these prop...

Oh and this is the REAL plane hat from Temple of Doom, sold a few years ago on Screenused (It's a Herbert Johnson) http://screenused.com/images/templedoom/IndyFedora1.jpg http://screenused.com/images/templedoom/INDIANAJONES_TOD_169-1overlay.jpg That is an HJ that was used in the film. Mine is not a...

Holt was banned for less that 24 hours. He was then reinstated. It was mainly because of you. But why bring up something that happened elsewhere? LOW BLOW. I myself have NEVER attacked any member on this site. G-MANN "Low Blow" Wow that takes nerve, considering what he sees a veiled threa...

Henry

Aah so you where TCBCollector too. :D I thought so. Well , I have seen pictures of your temple of doom hat. Either you are very stupid, or you have been ripped off bigtime. I even saved the picture so if anyone is interested :D Ah I'll share it Heres the screen used stetson Temple of Doom Fedora: h...

Henry

Henry, You are entitled to your opinion and the buyer that offered me the $5,000.00 is entitled to his opinion too. I am sure his collection is more extensive than yours so he he can determine what was a fair price to pay me. As far as I know he was not planning on reselling the hat since he was de...

Henry

Well well, second forum I see you on Henry. Are you actually going to post pictures of your highly praised collection now? Or are you going to do it like you did before: big stories and no proof what so ever. How is your Temple of Doom Stetson doing? No I am not posting any photos as usual. They we...

Henry

You should really know your audience before you attempt to throw darts. http://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=30430 dont even get me started.this was the last drop for me. you know what I mean! Holt Get lost. You can throw all that info out there, I have proof to the contrary too. Don't forge...

Henry

Obvioulsy you are not a collector Wow. I'm insulted. The Adventurebilt is an Indiana Jones fedora, yes? Yes. :tup: The hat was sent to Ford for him to try on, yes? Yes. :tup: It is an Indiana Jones fedora worn by Harrison Ford. Fact? Yes! :clap: It was never, ever claimed to be a production hat or ...

Henry

but we all know that this was not what collectors view as a true Indiana Jones fedora worn by Harrison Ford. Well, the guy who bought it did. What I don't get is how if Ford tried the hat on that it's "stretching bounds" to say he wore it. I don't know how else to word it. I'd have to say...

Henry

He is happy with the hat and nobody forced him to make me the offer for the hat. It is worth what he was willing to pay for it. No more no less. Furthermore, the day you sell your hat for $20,000 is the day it will be worth $20,000. Until then it is worth exactly what you paid for it. G-MANN Well t...

Henry

How would anyone feel about hat # 49 from the felt run used for the movie? I am not trying to be a nay sayer here, but a hat "worn by" Harrison Ford is a bit different, in my opinion, than a hat simply placed on his head for a screen test. I have one of the KOTCS hats worn by Ford (#3) an...

Henry

Thanks so much again for the clarification! Glad to help out. And it reminded me(I had forgotten) that the sample hat had the crested liner, as the other samples did. By the way, those liners in the other hats came from Art Fawcett. Once Steven had picked which hat he wanted, the main order were se...

Henry

My screen worn KOTCS hat has a white liner, with logo. Wow, dude you got the rare hat of the group. This hat was the sample hat that accidently got picked up and aged and dyed by the girl at Western Costume. It had the Staff of Ra Headpiece on the liner. This hat is the shorter one that appeared in...

Henry

Steve said they all originally shipped with plain white liners - no AB logos inside... so ILM wouldn't have had to brush out any logos anyway. I think the story is they were dyed on set so that they wouldn't reflect as much light. How'd you get a screen used hat? Shane Here is a quote from Steve I ...

Henry

On page 13 of the IJATKOTCS official magazine, there's a pic of Indy and the "new Pat Roach" Ruskie, and the hat clearly has a champagne liner. (And the gold AB embossing on the sweatband is evident as well!) If a white liner also showed up, then they must have switched baskets, er I mean...

Henry

It's also testimony to how well a rabbit felt hat holds up, and how well a 100% beaver felt hat holds up to extreme abuse. That's why Steve went on the search for a material that WOULD hold up to Indy's real adventurers. It's plain, as has been pointed out above, a rabbit felt just can't handle it,...

Henry

I did come to this site years ago and stated I had the Stetson TOD hat, and I was torn to shreds because I would not provide photos etc, so I never bothered again. I understand now, but you know how that is. Indiana Jones movie props/ costumes create a lot of discontent because everyone has an prec...

Henry

What a shame. Sounds like you have some real treasures many here at COW would appreciate. The thread regarding the hero ROTLA fedora was well received I thought. You should consider asking the powers that be at COW to post some of your collection anonymously so you don't have to deal with the heada...

Henry

I guarantee they were horrified that you didn't jump at the chance to take the deal, Henry! :shock: :lol: Regards! Michaelson HA! To say the least. How could I refuse such an honor! The funniest part about that whole thing, is that they tried billing ME for the rental of 5 display cases! Even thoug...

Henry

Either way, makes no never mind to me, its not my money........LOL! (I wish it was, then I could build "Indiana Ranch" right across from Lucas himself and throw half eaten hot dogs at his windows.) Just about one of the funniest posts I've read on COW. Just curious, have you posted pics o...

Henry

I do know that Paramount Studios had thousands of these hats sitting on the shelves in bags, literaly. You were aware of the original plan that Lucas had was to sell those Stetsons in the lobbies of movie theaters when TofD came out as part of a Stetson/Paramount/Lucasfilm promotional, weren't you?...

Henry

Henry, that lines up with what Steve Delk and I were told back in the mid 90's by Stetson. It's also why all those Stetson 'Temples' ended up in the hands of companies like Cabella and U. S. Cavalry after the film came out, as the hat deal fell through with Lucas, so they had to 'dump' their hats i...

Henry

Yes... That is called "Officially Licensed Merchandise". This is not the same as product placement. DPs are enorsed by Lucasfilm for mass sales with the Indiana Jones name on them. From what the others are saying, Stetson used a campaign that claimed specifically, "As seen on Indiana...

Henry

....and for one specific item, I can not post photos until Jan 2009. Go figure. I bet the marketing hasn't ended yet, and that item will end up on store shelves by Christmas, so they don't want it showing up so prop makers can duplicate it. :lol: Regard! Michaelson Bingo! Who knows if they will rel...

Henry

Through those friendships I obtained a majority of costumes etc, and was given a binder to look at that showed continuity sheets/ photos for the main cast on TOD/ Last Crusade, and KOTCS. You are a lucky man. The prop man I talked to wouldn't even admit these sheets or lists existed, even though I ...

Henry

I do remember the ads prior to Last Crusade by Stetson. They showed the familar Struzan painting of Indy from the teaser poster (the image is on ALL the new toys and such currently... yeah, that one!), and it said... Indy's Back! And he's wearing a Stetson! or maybe it was And this time he's wearin...

Henry

It didn't go through. What was your relation or role on these films again? Thanks Henry. I had no relation to the film directly. My father was Senior VP of Kemper Insurance who provided the insurance for TOD/ Last Crusade. He was on the set quite a bit in LA/ India for the company. Through him I ma...

Henry

That's all nice to hear, but basically there is still no verifiable documentation to be witnessed or shown for the rest of us in order to set it straight. Henry, what is your relation to the films, if you don't mind? Were there any Dorfman's on the wardrobe call sheet for KOTCS? With insider info l...

Henry

All a matter of sematics. :lol: :wink: The prop master I had a long time 'working relationship' with only referred to the hats used by Ford as 'hero hats', and the ones he handled were all HJ's. The Stetsons were placed in locations in the film so the Stetson folks could say the contract with Lucas...

Henry

I thought Stetson and Baron hats were used in ToD They were used in product placement, so technically they DID appear in the film...but it was an HJ as the hero hat for TofD. Regards! Michaelson That is not entirely correct. I see this debate all the time. There were 3 Stetson hero hats according t...
