Professor Emelius Browne's (David Tomlinson) SFX magic gloves from Robert Stevenson's and Ward Kimball's classic family comedy Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Browne conjured sparks from his gloves while he masqueraded as a London street magician.

This pair of SFX gloves (one size "36," one size "34") is one of three existing pairs created for the sequence by special effects artist Danny Lee, whose work on the film won him an Academy Award® and from whom the pair originated. They are made from beige kidskin with translucent button closures and metal finger compartments for igniting pyrotechnics. The smaller glove features a Hammer of Hollywood Gloves tag on the interior. Both exhibit rusting to the metal, light tearing, and staining to the leather from age and production wear. They remain fragile and are stuffed with newspaper for stability.

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
