9th – 10th November will bring the latest Propstore auction, and looks set to be one for the record books. Not only is a dazzling array of memorabilia from across the movie world set to go under the hammer – along with a slew of Star Wars and Indiana Jones pieces – but the auction also includes Anthony Daniels Collection, ‘an archive of rare Star Wars material collected across Daniel’s time appearing in all 9 films of The Skywalker Saga‘ that will see an original light-up Threepio head from A New Hope available for an estimate of anything between £500,000 to £1,000,000. As Jar Jar might say, that’s a lot of moolah.
PROPSTORE WILL BE AUCTIONING OVER 1,800 UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL ITEMS IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AUCTIONS OF FILM & TV MEMORABILIA BETWEEN NOVEMBER 9TH – 12TH, 2023, INCLUDING:
A SCREEN-MATCHED LIGHT-UP C-3PO (ANTHONY DANIELS) HEAD FROM STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977), FROM THE PERSONAL COLLECTION OF THE LONGEST-SERVING STAR WARS CASTMEMBER, ANTHONY DANIELS, EST. £500,000 – £1,000,000 ($575,000 – $1,150,000)
