Amanda Young's (Shawnee Smith) backup reverse bear trap from James Wan's horror film Saw. Young woke up to find her head stuck inside a deadly "reverse bear trap" with only 60 seconds to free herself.

This trap device comes directly from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom "Brooklyn" Bellissimo, who custom-made it as a backup for the screen-used bear trap in case an additional unit was needed. Bellissimo always liked the raw-aluminum look and at one time considered leaving the prop like this. It is constructed almost entirely of metal with a series of mechanical attachments, including gears and springs, a long woven hose on the top, two metal spikes in the mouthpiece, a plastic timer, and a metal padlock on the side. One of the geared mechanisms and the timer were added by Bellissimo after production to complete the look of the trap.

This particular trap was deliberately unpainted for possible use in a prequel or in shots requiring an earlier version of the rusted, aged trap. It is marked "B" in marker on the interior and exhibits some stains from grime and light rusting from production and age. Dimensions: 14" x 17" x 10" (35.75 cm x 43.25 cm x 25.5 cm)

This lot comes from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom "Brooklyn" Bellissimo. A letter of authenticity from Bellissimo is included.

Estimate: $15,000 - 20,000
