Propstore’s Summer Entertainment Memorabilia Auction is now live, featuring over 1,000 incredible lots of TV and movie memorabilia from franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, Back To The Future, Men In Black, Alien, and Lord Of The Rings. For one day only, Propstore showcased six of its highly recognizable props at the all-new Planet Hollywood in Times Square, New York City. Here’s an exclusive look at the iconic items from the private viewing:
Darth Vader’s dueling lightsaber from The Empire Strikes Back (1980) & Return Of The Jedi (1983) was the centerpiece of the display, shown alongside significant relics such as Indiana Jones’ 8-ft bullwhip, belt, and holster from The Last Crusade (1989), an Imperial Stormtrooper helmet from Return Of The Jedi (1983), a Neuralyzer from Men In Black (1997), Sauron’s helmet from The Lord Of The Rings (2001), and Captain Picard’s flute & 1992 script from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Altogether, about $5 million worth of pop culture artifacts were under one roof!
You can learn more about each of these props on the auction site, including details on their origin, usage, restoration process, and estimated value. Be sure to also check out Propstore’s online catalogs for additional information on the lots, as well as a dedicated booklet for the Darth Vader lightsaber. For those interested, the in-person auction will take place September 4th at Petersen Automotive Museum, with online bidding to follow on September 5th & 6th.
