A John Moran hood is probably one of the most sought after for any collector, his flair and style is superb. Even Johns "Utility" hoods of simple construction can command a good price on the collectors market today. As you can see from the small collection of hoods below, the quality and sheer elegance of the American hoodmaking artist is plain to see and influenced by Native American artwork.
