A production-made proton pack shell from Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spangler (Harold Ramis) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) used their particle accelerating proton packs to weaken and trap ghosts while they work as paranormal investigators.

Ghostbusters was an immediate pop culture phenomenon upon release, becoming the then-highest-grossing comedy of all time. The film spawned an incredibly popular franchise spanning nearly 40 years, including theatrical films, cartoons, books, comics, video games, action figures, and a breakfast cereal. In 2015, the film was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry for its historical, cultural and aesthetic importance.

Constructed of automotive filler with a cloth reinforcement inlay, this black painted shell with red details was created as a master pattern from the production mold for the rubber stunt packs used in the film. It shows some details found exclusively on the stunt packs, such as a reversed "ion arm" in the upper left corner of the pack. It exhibits extensive wear and cracking throughout and some missing paint in several sections. This shell originally came from the collection of Peter Mosen, widely known as the first-ever "Ghost-head" (super-fan), who was part of numerous official Ghostbusters publicity events; Mosen obtained the item from a production source in the 1980s. Dimensions: 26" x 13" x 7.5" (66 cm x 33 cm x 19 cm)

Estimate: $5,000 - 10,000
