Captain America's Shield Is Up for Auction.
Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena of Heritage Auctions said in the organization’s press release, that it is an epic event, filled with “memories and magic from wide-screen delighted us as children to the modern masterpieces and superhero films and space operas that keep us going back to the big screen.”
Also among the props in the auction block is the Goya Model F-19 six-string acoustic guitar Julie Andrews' Maria in one of The Sound of Music’s most adored sequences, when she gathers the Von Trapp children on the hilltop to teach them “Do-Re-Mi,” as well as the Grail Cup and Tablet from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This auction also contains numerous Star Wars and Star Trek costumes and props.
One of the most recognizable costumes in this event is the white bikini worn by Ursula Andress as she emerged from the water in an iconic scene for the first James Bond screen adaptation, Dr. No. This piece was auctioned in 2001 for nearly $150,000. Other notable outfits to be sold in December are worn by Marilyn Monroe’s Elsie signature pearl-encrusted mermaid gown from 1957's The Prince and the Showgirl, the chiffon dress Kate Winslet's character, Rose, wore while the Titanic sank, and an outfit of Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack in the same movie.
The familiar rides offered in this event include the beloved 1986 John Hughes film, Ferris Buller’s Day Off prop Ferrari 250 GT California, Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1991 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Herbie the Love Bug itself, a modified 1973 Volkswagen Beetle used for Herbie Goes Bananas.
