Dr. Ellie Arroway's (Jodie Foster) toy compass with a prototype compass and chain from Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi film Contact.

This lot consists of a multicolour plastic compass with a thick brass-colour metal ring adhered to the top and "Made in China" engraved on the reverse; a matching prototype compass with a thin silver-colour ring; and a prototype brass-colour cable chain. Also included in the lot is a blue pin badge featuring the IMC logo. One of the compass needles has fallen off its bearing. Dimensions (each): 3.5 cm x 3 cm x 0.5 cm (1 1/2" x 1 1/4" x 1/4")

Estimate: £2,000 - 3,000 Ω
