On August 15, $630,000 was paid in Los Angeles for the brown felt fedora, made specifically for the film "Temple of Doom."
At the same time, other movie props were sold, including props from Star Wars, Harry Potter and James Bond.
Jones, an adventurer and archaeologist, is seen wearing the hat early in the film when he and his companions jump from a crashing plane into an inflatable boat.
During the scene, he's aboard the plane with nightclub singer Wilhelmina "Willie" Scott, played by Kate Capshaw, and his 12-year-old friend Short Round, played by Ke Hui Quan, as they escape the clutches of a Chinese criminal gang.
After the flight is sabotaged by the pilot, the trio use a boat to fall out of the plane. It then plunges down a mountainside.
The auction house says the hat was also used during additional shoots at producer George Lucas' visual effects facilities.
The fedora was also worn by Ford's stuntman in the film, Dean Ferrandini, and was sold along with previously unpublished photos of the stuntman wearing the now iconic costume on set
Ferrandini died last year. The hat is from his personal collection.
The sable-coloured fedora is an updated version of the original one shown in the first Indiana Jones movie - "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - with a more pointed crown than in the first film, the auction house Propstore said.
Created by the Herbert Johnson Hat Company in London, the inner lining features the initials "IJ" monogrammed in gold.
An Imperial scout helmet used in the 1983 film "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi," which was bought for $315,000, also sold at the auction, as did a magic wand used by Daniel Radcliffe in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," which fetched $53,550.
Also, a costume worn by Daniel Craig in the 2012 James Bond film Skyfall sold for $35,000.
Brandon Allinger, Propstore's chief operating officer, said that "the auction house is proud to have connected such a wide range of fans with the historical exhibits they cherish." | BGNES
