The interesting thing about this hat is that is not the current issue plastic wicker style cap by Midway Cap. It is a real cane wicker hat like the original DRR hats and also has brass Sante Fe side buttons!

No doubt it's original, and I guess the fact that it's actual wicker/cane and could be from 1971 contributes to its value, but that still seems like an awful lot of money for the piece.

No question about that, Steve. As pricey as I’ve ever seen a Disney Conductor Hat go for.
