One of Cody’s personally-owned Stetson cowboy hats. Light brown hat has a Native American bead and feather pinned to the braided hat band, with its black leather sweatband with “XXXX Stetson,” “John B. Stetson Company 3X Beaver,” and Cody’s name and “Happy 80th Birthday,” printed around it, as well as a label of the world-renowned tailor to the stars, Nudie's Rodeo Tailors. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Nudie Cohn’s granddaughter, Jamie Nudie, which reads, in part: “This Stetson hat belonging to Iron Eyes Cody is a gem!…Iron Eyes loved Nudie. In fact when Nudie passed away in 1984 Iron Eyes asked my grandmother and I if it was okay to place one of his feathers on my grandfather’s chest before closing his casket. That feather is with him.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
