A bloodied Charlotte meerschaum pipe from Jon Turteltaub's National Treasure. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) used the stem of a meerschaum pipe he, Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), and Ian Howe (Sean Bean) discovered in the frozen wreckage of the ship Charlotte - along with his own blood - to reveal the second clue that would lead them to the next location in their hunt for the Templar's Treasure. The pipe was later discovered to be the key to unlocking the ship's treasure room.

At the time of its release, National Treasure had the best November opening weekend for a Disney film and held onto the No. 1 spot for three weekends. The film's success inspired a multimedia global franchise, including a hugely profitable sequel as well as a spin-off streaming series on Disney Plus.

This ornately detailed pipe with a removable stem is sculpted predominantly from resin. It features an intricate cast head depicting a crusading knight and others surrounding a brick wall. The pipe is intentionally distressed to replicate aged meerschaum and applied with stage blood. It exhibits some scuffing and nicks to the resin, as well as flaking paint and stage blood from handling and production. Dimensions: 10" x 3.5" x 2" (25.5 cm x 9 cm x 5.25 cm)

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
