Propstore's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction Showcases Iconic Pop Culture Items
Get ready, pop culture enthusiasts! Propstore, a renowned auction house, is set to host an Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction from September 4 to 6 in Los Angeles, USA. The auction will feature over 1,000 lots of film-used props, costumes, and collectibles, with a total estimated value of approximately nine million euros.
One of the most anticipated items up for auction is Sauron's helmet from the epic saga, "The Lord of the Rings." Known as one of the main villains in the series, Sauron's helmet is an iconic element of the saga. While specific high-value "Lord of the Rings" items were not detailed in the available sources, the event may include memorabilia from the beloved franchise.
Another exciting piece is Indiana Jones' bullwhip, belt, and whip holster from the 1989 film, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." This is the only complete set of its kind ever offered at public auction, and it carries a pre-sale estimate of €250,000 to €500,000.
The auction will also feature the primary duelling lightsaber used by Darth Vader in the climactic battles of "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) and "Return of the Jedi" (1983). This is the only verified "hero" Vader lightsaber ever to come to market, with a pre-sale estimate of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000.
The most expensive piece in the collection could exceed two and a half million euros, but it is not confirmed that Sauron's helmet is the most expensive item. The auction will take place at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, with in-room bidding on September 4, followed by online bidding thereafter.
The collection was initially presented in London, but the auctioneer who presented the collection is not specified in the available sources. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual collector, this auction promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of pop culture history.
