"Napoleon wore his sideways"

July 9, 2015 12:40 PM

Would you like A black felt bicorne hat, worn by the Emperor Napoleon, or a lock of Hair from the Mane of Buonaparte's favourite white Charger, or perhaps an Original hand blown bottle … with a crowned 'N' enclosed in laurel wreath, no label, level of liquid is 8 in. (20 cm) below base of cork? Well, you just missed your chance.

No... You didn't miss your chance. I've got a few locks of both Napoleon's and Josephine's hair right here! A steal at $34,000 for both! I'll even throw in this piece of shoe leather from the shoes he wore at Waterloo.

Oh and in case you missed the last item on that list... I think Napoleon flew in this baby.

Man, I can't find that Simpsons clip about Napoleon's hat.

I can get this kind of stuff. I just need to log into eBay and type WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU GOT.

The only "Napoleon Memorabilia" I ever owned was the 45 of this. And that was enough. (And yes, I played the B side of that record as often as the A side)

My most prized possession is Napoleon's last tube of preparation H. For a low seven figures I'll give you a squirt.

I have fallen down a rabbit hole of high end auction sites. The things people sell each other..!
