Beginning on the 3rd of November, 2022, Propstore is planning to sell over 1,500 pieces of film, television, and music memorabilia (collectively worth over £11 million) in one of the largest memorabilia auctions in the world. This auction will be conducted over four consecutive days and will include items such as...
Lot number: #118 / Starting price: £5,000 / Estimated value: £10,000 to £15,000 / Featured in: The 2016 superhero film, 'Doctor Strange' / Size: 8cm x 1.5cm x 4.5cm / Condition: This ring has been well used, but is in very good condition
Brief description: This ring has been intentionally distressed to look ancient and is made out of metal. It was originally sold in a charity auction in order to raise money for the Disasters Emergency Committee and their work in Ukraine. A printout of this charity auction is included with this ring, along with a handwritten note from Cumberbatch's management, which reads, 'With thanks and best wishes on behalf of Benedict'.
Lot number: #353 / Starting price: £20,000 / Estimated value: £40,000 to £60,000 / Featured in: The first prequel in George Lucas' Star Wars series of films, 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace', which was released in 1999 / Size: 25cm x 45cm x 89cm (on display) / Condition: This costume is fairly well preserved, but in places, it features remnants of green rubber, and there are small patches of aged brown foam stuck to the robe
Brief description: This costume consists of a beige woolen hooded robe and a brown woolen tunic, and it's displayed on a custom-made poseable model featuring Yoda's head. The original design sculpt was undertaken by Gary Pollard and approved by George Lucas in person.
Lot number: #92 / Starting price: £15,000 / Estimated value: £30,000 to £50,000 / Featured in: The only complete Bruce Lee martial arts movie he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in, 'The Way of the Dragon', which was released in 1972 / Size: 95cm x 3.5cm x 3.5cm (each) / Condition: Although everything is intact, oxidation has affected the appearance and internal adhesive for both of these nunchakus, mainly by giving the rubber coating surrounding each one a more ribbed appearance and a lighter shade compared with what they originally looked like in 1972
Brief description: These nunchakus were each crafted from durable lightweight wood, wrapped in mesh strips, and then covered in a protective rubberized coating, with a metal chain and eye-hooks linking the two batons together. They come with a letter of authenticity from the family of Lee's close friend and training partner, George Lee, which expands upon their history.
Lot number: #406 / Starting price: £125,000 / Estimated value: £250,000 to £500,000 / Featured in: The first three Superman films that starred Christopher Reeve, namely, 'Superman' (1978), 'Superman II' (1980), and 'Superman III' (1983) / Size: 91.5cm x 51cm x 198cm (on display) / Condition: Despite age and use, this costume only shows a few minor blemishes
Brief description: This classic costume is made of custom-woven, stretchy nylon material, wool, and leather, and it's mounted on a bespoke mannequin that has a painted lifecast of Christopher Reeve to complete the display. The mannequin has been fixed to a metal base that's shaped to resemble Superman's emblem, with a rod entering the left boot through its zipper, which is stitched shut.
