Our expert's notes

The Penguin's (Burgess Meredith) top hat and gloves from the classic live-action television series Batman. The Penguin wore his purple top hat and white fur gloves throughout the series. This hat was likely worn in numerous episodes, and was specifically outfitted with head straps for episode 305, 'A Horse of Another Color', in which the Penguin rigged a horse race.

The signature top hat is spray-painted purple, and features a leather chinstrap stitched to the black nylon sweatband. The creme-coloured interior liner shows tears to the fabric which expose the shell. The Penguin's gloves are made of creme-coloured cotton with faux fur stitched over the top. The gloves are outfitted with snap buttons at the wrist for a snug fit. Also included is an autographed 8x10 photo of Burgess Meredith which reads 'HELLO! from Burgess Meredith! (THE Penguin)'. The lot shows minor wear due to production use and age, but remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (top hat): 20 cm x 15 cm x 25 cm (12" x 6" x 10"); (gloves): 23 cm x 3 cm x 15 cm (9" x 1" x 6"); (photograph): 20 cm x 25 cm (8" x 10")
