A collection of model miniatures from the swordfight sequence in Barry Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family. In the film, Gomez Addams (Raul Julia) challenged Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya) to a duel during which various furnishings and set pieces within the Addams Family mansion were destroyed.

This set of model miniatures comes from the collection of Doug Beswick, an effects artist well-known for his stop-motion animation and creature effects work. It consists of two chairs made of composite wood, faux leather and foam; three lamps made of resin and metal; a plastic ticker tape machine in a glass case; a resin and wood sewing machine; four swords made of foam and wood; a resin and metal radiator; a wood table; and one foam miniature figure styled after Tully Alford. Following production, some of the miniatures in this lot underwent sympathetic restoration to repair damage incurred through use. They exhibit some discoloration, chipped pieces, and one sword in two pieces. Dimensions: (largest) 20" x 16" x 20" (51 cm x 40.75 cm x 51 cm)

Estimate: $600 - 1,200
