TV and film memorabilia auctioneer Propstore is preparing to auction off merchandise from iconic franchises like *Star Wars*, *Batman*, and *Bond* in its annual live auction, set to run from November 14-17. The auction is expected to generate around $13.1 million (Ksh. 1.6 billion).
One of the standout items in the sale is a Sandtrooper helmet from *Star Wars: A New Hope*, with an estimated value between $326,900 (Ksh. 42.1 million) and $654,000 (Ksh. 84.2 million). Propstore’s founder and CEO, Stephen Lane, commented on the rarity of such items. “It’s an incredibly rare artifact,” he told Reuters.
Another sought-after item is Clint Eastwood’s duster coat from *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly*. “The duster is synonymous with most Western films. This is considered one of the best Westerns, perhaps of all time, and Clint Eastwood costume pieces from those films virtually never, ever turn up,” Lane added.
Other notable items up for auction include Daniel Craig’s suit from *Skyfall*, Michael Keaton’s Batsuit from *Batman Returns*, and the 2015 resized jacket worn by Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly in *Back to the Future Part II*.
Additional items include Russell Crowe’s Maximus helmet and mask from *Gladiator*, the Ghostface mask worn by Henry Winkler as Principal Arthur Himbry in *Scream*, and a dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in *Cleopatra*.
