A Charlie Chaplin hat-and-cane set sold for nearly $140,000 at auction on Sunday, setting a price record, according to a spokeswoman for Bonhams & Butterfields.
The $139,250 bid broke a record for the most ever paid for a Chaplin hat-and-cane set, of which there are several, said Bonhams spokeswoman Janelle Grigsby. She would not say who purchased the items.
