Prop Store, one of the world’s leading film and TV memorabilia companies, has today announced it is to hold the UK’s largest annual live auction of film and TV memorabilia for the sixth consecutive year this September, with the items on offer expected to fetch in excess of £6 million ($7.5 million). The auction is to be held at London’s BFI IMAX proudly presented by ODEON, Europe’s largest cinema group. There will be more than 900 rare and unique props in this auction. Bids can be placed via internet, from anywhere in the world, by phone, or in person.

The auction will be live-streamed online for fans to track the bidding on auction days. A free preview exhibition will be open to the public in the run up to the auction, opening on Wednesday 18^th September – Tuesday 1^st October 2019 at the BFI IMAX and showcasing over 250 lots from the upcoming auction.

The list of props being auctioned off is dazzling, but it’s in keeping with last year’s auction. Last year’s auction saw Indiana Jones’ (Harrison Ford) Signature Fedora from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark sell for a jaw-dropping $492,650.

Also on the auction list:

Russel Crows’ “Maximus” Roman General armor from Gladiator is expected to sell for between £30,000-50,000.

Jack Nicholson’s “Jack Torrance” hero axe from The Shining is estimated to sell for £40,000-60,000.

Mel Gibson’s “William Wallace” hero claymore sword from Braveheart should go for about £30,000-50,000.

If you’ve ever wanted to own Samuel L. Jackson’s “Mace Windu” lightsaber from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, I hope your Jedi robes have deep pockets, because that item is expected to sell for between £50,000-100,000.

If you have a particularly nasty rabbit in a cave that needs taking care of, you’ll need the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch from Monty Python. That’s estimated to sell for between £50,000-100,000.
