3. RADAR’S BELOVED TEDDY

-

Corporal Walter “Radar” O’Reilly’s stuffed bear—which Hawkeye eventually placed in a time capsule—was meant to symbolize all the boys who came overseas and then left as men. But when the show ended, the stuffed animal was lost. That is, until it turned up at an auction in 2005. It sold to a medical student for $11,800. The student later sold it to Radar actor Gary Burghoff, now 79, who sold it at auction for $14,307.50 in 2014.
