Clyde Barrow's Hat

This is the tan fedora hat that Clyde Barrow was wearing, when he and Bonnie Parker were
ambushed and killed on May 23, 1934 near Gibsland, Louisiana. The hole in the brim of the hat
was caused by one of the many rounds fired into the couple, while sitting in their 1934 Ford Sedan.


Bonnie Parker's Hat

This small sequined cloche hat belonged to Bonnie Parker and was recovered from the "Death Car" after
the notorious Texas outlaws were killed. This and some other personal items were returned to the family.
