A 4 x 2 x 2 section of brick from one of the chimneys of Bonnie and Clyde’s last hideouts. Brick is affixed to a wooden stand with a photo of the hideout (with two visible chimneys), and a descriptive caption which reads, “This brick was part of one of the chimneys of Bonnie and Clyde’s last hideout. The hideout they were going to when ambushed by law enforcement officers May 23, 1934. The hideout was located deep in the woods on an old stagecoach road just south of the Sales community. The hideout was burned to the ground intentionally years ago by the owners of the land because of the interest that it drew and the fear that someone would get hurt. All that was left was a pile of bricks. This is one of those bricks.”
Accompanied by a copy of a 1998 letter of provenance from Charles Heard who obtained bricks in Gibsland, Louisiana, and purchased remaining bricks at the 1998 Bonnie and Clyde Festival. Also accompanied by an affidavit signed by Heard stating he sold this half brick to Robert E. Davis on July 19, 1998, and that the brick came from their hideout after the fire. A great relic from their last hideout, the one they left from on the morning of May 23, never to return to again.
