Dr. Finkelstein's (William Hickey) animatable microscope and Lock's (Paul Reubens) gas can from Henry Selick's fantasy musical The Nightmare Before Christmas. Finkelstein's microscope was in his laboratory, while Lock's gas can was poured into a soup as they planned Santa Claus' capture.

The microscope is black painted brass-color and resin with wire running up the armature. The resin gas can is painted silver-color and gray to resemble metal, with a painted-on poison skull-and-bones symbol in black paint outline and white-gray fill. The backside of the can has two drilled holes, with a drilled out hole at the spout. The lot exhibits minor paint chipping and scuffing.

Dimensions: (microscope) 10" x 5.5" x 2.75" (25.5 cm x 14 cm x 7 cm); (can) 2.75" x 1.75" x 1" (7 cm x 4.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
