Large plush foam feathered cowboy hat with faux-suede brim, labeled by Taylor Welch, a prop from Thames Television, which produced and aired Hill?s show from 1969?89. Approx. 20 x 20 x 12?. Accompanied by a production binder (Thames, 1987) including highlights, synopses, and music cue sheets for 100 episodes, six color transparencies, and a glossy publicity photo, plus a letter from John Fisher, of the same network, to the previous owner, enclosing the prop and stating: ?I?m sure you will derive pleasure from the enclosed.
