A large stop-motion surface gauge autographed by Doug Beswick. Beswick worked as a stop-motion artist and animator on several of the most popular films in history, including Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, The Terminator, and Aliens.

Beswick used this exact metal gauge, an essential tool in stop-motion animation, to map scale and distance between puppets and models in animation sequences. It consists of two adjustable rods mounted to an elevated base, which in turn is screwed into a large base. The higher base is signed in silver marked by Beswick and exhibits some scratching. Dimensions: 12.25" x 3" x 3" (31.25 cm x 7.75 cm x 7.75 cm)

Estimate: $800 - 1,200Δ
