A bowler hat and cane used by Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) has been consigned to London Auctions in Chiswick on February 12.
The black ‘Derby’ bowler hat with reinforced top and the 2ft 9in (83cm) long bamboo cane are believed to be from Chaplin’s dressing room in Los Angeles just before the Second World War. They were given to Lt Macdonald of the Black Watch, who was given a tour of Chaplin’s studio while holidaying in LA.
