A movie prop worth having

If I had thirty-three grand to blow, this would be a good way to blow it.

The steel-rimmed derby used by the villainous Oddjob in the James Bond movie “Goldfinger” has been auctioned for $33,600.

…The hat was from the estate of Harold Sakata, who played the villain in the 1964 Bond movie. The buyer, Anthony Pugliese III, is a collector of Bond memorabilia in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He wants to display the hat in a pop culture museum…

One of the great movie props of all time; up there with the ruby slippers.

    I just saw the Casino Royale trailer, pretty cool. I just might go to the theatre to see it.

    I love that trailer! I’ve watched it about five times.

    Way cool….. if I could pick just one piece of Bond memorabilia, that would be it.

    And that trailer absolutely ROCKS. I had no interest in seeing the movie until I saw that trailer……

    I dunno, Ken, I think I’d take the Aston Martin…

    But small memorabilia? Hmmm….yeah, the hat rules.
