ESB Original Vader Helmet Up for Auction
Tue, Dec 09, 03 04:20:04 PM EST
Profiles in History is profiled themselves in an article in UK Reuters. Up for grabs in the auction? And original ESB prop:
Collecting old Hollywood memorabilia has become increasingly popular. This past summer, the group held a Hollywood auction that brought in about $1.3 million, or 30 percent more than the $1 million Maddalena said he expected. Bids came from all over North and South America, Europe and Asia.
Along with "Black Beauty," which was driven in the series by martial arts star Bruce Lee, Profiles in History on Thursday is selling Darth Vader's black helmet, mask and shoulder armor from 1980's "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back."
Maddalena estimates it could fetch $40,000 to $60,000, but given that it comes with an accompanying authentication letter from "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, the price could go higher.
"I'm hoping it brings $150,000-plus," he said.
For the man whose wardrobe needs a suit that is too good to refuse, up for sale is the Armani tuxedo Robert De Niro wore in 1987 film "The Untouchables" playing gangster Al Capone. It is estimated to bring $2,000 to $3,000. Or, there is Al Pacino's jacket from "The Godfather: Part II" for $7,000 to $9,000.
Damn that's hot!!!
