Own a piece of cinematic history at one of the world’s largest film & TV memorabilia auctions between November 14-17, 2024.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Propstore, one of the world’s premier entertainment memorabilia auctioneers, has today announced its highly anticipated annual live auction of film and TV memorabilia from November 14-17, 2024, with the collection expected to fetch over $12 million.

Over 1,800 rare and iconic artifacts will hit the auction block during Propstore’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction. The lineup features pieces worn or used by stars like Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, Elizabeth Taylor, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Michael J. Fox, among others. In a historic highlight, this event will also feature the largest-ever auction of Noel Gallagher’s guitars, handwritten “Wonderwall” lyrics, and other Oasis memorabilia—just in time for the band’s reunion tour.

Registration is now open online at propstoreauction.com/auctions. Online proxy bids can be submitted from October 15, 2024. In-room bidding will be open to the public at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, London on the 14 & 15 November 2024. Online and telephone bids can be placed across the whole event from 3PM GMT each day.

Top featured items include:

• A screen-matched Sandtrooper helmet from the iconic “move along” scene in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) is estimated to sell between $312,500 – $625,000.

Hand-painted artwork by celebrated artist Robert McGinnis from the 1971 James Bond classic Diamonds Are Forever is expected to fetch between $187,500 – $375,000.

• The Kali lighting stand-in model from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), estimated between $125,000 – $250,000, is one of the many highlights from the extraordinary Ray Harryhausen archive, featuring over 30 lots from the career of Academy Award-winning animator Ray Harryhausen.

• The Costumi D’Arte collection boasts over 30 legendary Hollywood costumes, featuring iconic costumes worn by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra (1963), as well as key costumes worn by Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), including Blondie’s (Clint Eastwood’s) duster coat from the film, estimated between $75,000 – $150,000.

• Among the most notable Oasis offerings are 18 guitars formerly owned and played by Noel Gallagher, including his famous custom Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine. This guitar, a key instrument for Noel during the late ’90s, is thought to be the most thoroughly documented Gallagher guitar outside of his own collection and has been praised by Noel as “the best guitar in the world.” This lot is anticipated to sell for between $250,000 – $500,000. Several of the guitars on offer are signed by Noel and can be photo-matched to significant performances throughout his career.

• Several sets of Noel Gallagher’s handwritten lyrics to some of Oasis’ most legendary songs. Highlights include the lyrics to “Wonderwall” – estimated at £4,000 – 8,000 – and a set featuring “Supersonic” and “Live Forever,” the latter autographed by both Noel and Liam Gallagher, estimated at $3,750 – $7,500.
