In the first of two Los Angeles auctions this year, the Propstore team are offering 1,700 movie and TV treasures, with a total value of $8 million! This auction not only sees the second and final part of the Anthony Daniels Collection go under the hammer, but includes a variety of Hollywood gems, and an astonishing selection of vintage memorabilia. Read on for our top 10 highlights from the auction…

From the second and final part of the Anthony Daniels Collection, this Light-up C-3PO Head screen matches to several of the scenes on Endor through distinct markings on the right side of C-3PO’s outer perimeter ring. As the sole complete C-3PO head from the film in private hands, it’s a rare gem directly from Daniels’ collection. This prized possession allows fans to own a tangible piece of cinematic history, without having to travel to a galaxy far, far away!

Easy Rider, an emblematic counterculture film of the 1960s, garnered two Academy Award® nominations, a Cannes Film Festival award for Best First Work, and a place in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry for its cultural influence. In the climactic finale scene, shotgun-wielding yokels attacked Wyatt and Billy (Hopper), crashing Wyatt’s signature American flag-patterned motorcycle and ending their freewheelin’ ride to New Orleans. This is the crashed motorcycle used for the scene, and was restored to its current state after filming finished. Believed to be the sole remaining Captain America Chopper from the film, this is a must for anyone with a love for motorbikes and movies.

The young Vito wore his signature pea coat in several key flashbacks to his early years in New York during the late 1910s, including when he helped steal an expensive rug after losing his job in a grocery store. Distinctive creases on the right chest pocket and left sleeve screen match to when Corleone took his coat off in his apartment, while patterning on the tortoiseshell-patterned buttons and wear on the left lapel of this coat match it to set photographs from the production. Worn by Robert De Niro in a role that cemented him as a superstar, this is a fantastic piece of movie history.

It is rare for examples of Sean Connery suits to go under the hammer, with the actor keeping many of his costumes under the approval of Albert “Cubby” Broccoli. This lot was initially obtained by a crew member from a set costume sale when production wrapped. A distinctive pinch in the jacket’s left shoulder screen matches to the moment Bond met sumo wrestler Sadanoyama Shinmatsu, making this rare find even more highly sought after.

An icon of Hollywood glamour – few pieces would serve as such a perfect symbol of Hepburn’s grace and sophistication as this embroidered silk-organza gown worn by the actress in Sabrina. Inspired by Givenchy, and winning Edith Head the Academy Award® for Best Costume Design, this dress was seen as the height of fashion. Used in publicity pictures seen across the world, the dress screen matches via the pattern of the dress, specifically in the way the pattern cuts off along the top and the left princess seam.

The centerpiece of Enterprise-D’s bridge, Picard sat in his chair whilst commanding his faithful crew as they explored the Alpha and Beta quadrants of the Milky Way. Creases in the headrest and paint markings on the left arm and seat of this chair screen match it to multiple episodes in Seasons 6 and 7. So, if you would like to feel like Captain Picard, bid now and make it so!

Indiana Jones’ leather jacket is a signature part of his outfit and a look instantly recognizable to film fans around the globe. Believed to be the only genuine, screen-matched Indiana Jones jacket ever made available at public auction – this represents a rare opportunity for collectors to obtain a piece of film history. This jacket was custom-made specifically for use by Vic Armstrong, Harrison Ford’s primary stunt double, in the second installment of the Indiana Jones series. Armstrong was previously one of Ford’s doubles on Raiders of the Lost Ark and he later returned for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He is widely known for his work on the Indiana Jones films and published a book on his career entitled “The True Adventures of the World’s Greatest Stuntman” where he recounts playing James Bond, Superman, and more.

This distinctive Erlewine Chiquita travel guitar – the one and only example used during production – was personally selected by Zemeckis for one of the most memorabal scenes in film history. It screen matches to the first shot of McFly as he plugs the guitar into an amp in Doc Brown’s lab, before strumming it with a metal pick and blowing the speaker. As the highest grossing film of 1985, Back to the Future remains a popular cinematic touchstone with an extensive cultural legacy, and a favourite for collectors everywhere.

Charlie Chaplin, known primarily as a silent movie star, took his first step into the realm of “Talkies” with The Great Dictator, where he delivered one of the most poignant speeches in film history. Hynkel wears his dress uniform throughout the film, and the jacket features a Western Costume Co. label hand-marked for “Chas Chaplin” “No. 24457 # 6-A” “Chest: 37 1/2” in black ink. A significant piece for any collector interested in early cinema and vintage Hollywood.

The distinctive double-headed axe wielded by Gimli in the 17-time Academy Award winning Lord of The Rings trilogy. Famously, forced perspective was used when shooting the films to create the illusion of differing fantastical heights between cast members – meaning some props are larger or smaller than they would be in real life. This weapon is scaled to the size of actor John Rhys-Davies – whilst another version would have been scaled differently for one of the shorter performers used in long shots to create the appearance of Gimli’s smaller stature within the Fellowship.

Join us on March 12 – 14, 2024 when the lots will begin to close in our three-day live auction. And remember to get those bids in early if you want a shot at picking up some incredible pieces of entertainment history.
