    In his lifetime Napoleon wore over a hundred of the uniquely shaped bicorne hats. A French industrialist spent more than fifty years assembling the collection before he died last year

    So some dude spends half a century creating a collection, and as soon as he dies, it immediately gets parted out and sold individually?
