Indiana Jones' fedora, a Star Wars Droid and a pair of glasses worn by Daniel Radcliffe on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 are among several collectible fandom items being sold during Prop Store's second Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction.
Prop Store estimated that the television and movie memorabilia being made available to globally auction off to diehard fans is worth in excess of $6.1 million. Notably, the fedora worn by Harrison Ford in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is up for auction and expected to fetch between $150,000 and $250,000 during the live-stream event.
Radcliffe's iconic dark-rimmed glasses worn on both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2's sets, along with a wand used by the actor, are expected to sell for $30,000-$50,000 each. Proceeds from the Potter-related items will benefit Lumos -- a charity founded by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling that seeks to end the institutionalization of children worldwide.
Star Wars themed-items expected to fetch big money on the auction block include a remote-control droid from 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which is projected to bring in $80,000-120,000 and Carrie Fisher's annotated script from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back -- which is aiming to be sold upwards of $30,000-50,000.
The golf cart used by Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is expected to sell for $12,000-16,000. Actor star Tom Cruise's cavalry sword from 2003's The Last Samurai could potentially fetch $4,000-6,000.
Smaller items hitting the block as part of the auction include Frank the Pug's "I Heart NY" hoodie from 1997's Men in Black estimated at $200, a Hamunaptra Map from 1999's The Mummy estimated at $400 and a Jenko's (Channing Tatum) tuxedo from 2012's 21 Jump Street estimated to sell for $800.
Last year's Prop Store Entertainment Live Auction brought in more than $6.2 million in 48 hours. Following the success of last year's event, Prop Store’s COO Brandon Alinger shared, "Prop Store's first-ever Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction out of Los Angeles was a resounding success. We thank the many film fans and collectors who took part in the event and look forward to our next auction, which will be later this year from our London office."
Similar to the 2020 event, all items sold this year will come with a Prop Store Certificate of Authenticity. The auction will be live-streamed from June 29 through July 1 at 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PT each day. Registration for the auction is now open via the Prop Store website.
