One-Eyed Willy's booby trap treasure scales from Richard Donner's adventure film The Goonies. A set of scales filled with coins was seen among the treasure hoard discovered aboard One-Eyed Willy's hidden pirate ship, the Inferno. The scales were rigged as part of a hidden trap, so when Mama Fratelli (Anne Ramsey) removed the coins, she caused the cave containing the ship to collapse.

Crafted from brass, the scales consist of a ribbed pillar, an ornate pivoting beam featuring two extended arms, and two circular weighing pans suspended from each end of the beam. Several Chinese-style fish-like creatures featuring layered scales and open-mouthed expressions decorate many parts of the piece, curling in various directions to produce an intricate design for the hooks, both at the top and on each end of the beam. The irregular base of the lot displays nine different-sized holes, designed to house the various weights which accompany the scales.

Included is the original invoice, displayed within a wooden frame. Dated "02-28-85", the statement features the total cost for renting the piece for two weeks, with the production company details at the top. Minor wear is present on the scales and parts of the piece have become discoloured over time. Signs of oxidation are present, notably on the central part of the beam. The lot comes in separate parts and can be easily assembled. Dimensions (scales assembled): 27 cm x 69 cm x 85 cm (10 3/4" x 27 1/4" x 33 1/2"); (invoice): 25 cm x 36 cm x 3 cm (10" x 14 1/4"x 1 1/4")
