Can’t get enough of Jayne and his stuff? Here’s another chance for you to own a piece of Firefly history. Adam Baldwin is auctioning off
THE Jayne Hat to benefit the
Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.
Fans of Firefly will recognize this hat as the one Jayne Cobb received from his Ma in the episode “The Message.”
The auction for THE Jayne Hat will start on September 24, 2008 and will run until October 4. Keep an eye out for the auction through the CABC eBay page.
The MCLEF uses donated funds to provide assistance “to children of Marines or Federal law enforcement personnel who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country at home or abroad. These funds enable us to provide these children with scholarships for their higher education.”
