Even if you aren’t a Charlie Chaplin fan, there’s no denying that he was a true great that changed the face of cinema. Chaplin’s silhouette with his top hat and cane will never be lost to the sands of time.

Chaplin starred in 1936’s Modern Times and, of course, had a cane with him at all times. The prop hit the market in 2013 and took more than some thought it would, selling for a final price of $350,000. Considering it’s just a simple stick, that’s an incredible amount of money.
