I feel like a kid in a candy store — hundreds of wonderful Hollywood memoribilia is coming up for auction from September 29 through October 1, 2015. When I heard about Princess Leia’s golden bikini in the Jaba the Hutt scene from Return of the Jedi coming up for sale, I wanted it — then I hear the price. The opening bid will be $80,000. I decided to pass. Looking through the catalog of all the items to be auctioned in Hollywood Auction 74, hosted by Profiles in History and Invaluable.com, makes me feel like I did when I was a young child with Christmas a few weeks away. I would spend hours flipping through the pages of the Sears & Roebuck catalog looking at all the wonderful toys and gifts for Christmas, trying to decide what to ask for.

There are 1935 items listed in this catalog spanning the silent era to modern film, costumes and props from the dawn of television up through the latest popular programs. The catalog appears to be in chronological order, for the most part.

The first item listed is an #1 Early Childhood Portrait of Buster Keaton used for a Newspaper Article, (ca. 1889), and the last item listed is #1935 Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back British Quad Poster (1980). This is why I said the catalog is in chronological order for the most part as there are plenty of items post-The Empire Strikes Back.

#1531. RON HOWARD “STEVE’S” ORIGINAL SCREEN-USED CUSTOM 1958 CHEVROLET IMPALA FROM AMERICAN GRAFFITI. (Universal, 1973) Considered to be one of the most famous cars in American cinema history, this is the one and only Chevrolet 1958 Impala Sport Coupe built for and used in the movie, custom fabricated for the 1973 multi-Academy Award-nominated classic, American Graffiti. $800,000 – $1,200,000 (pp. 500-501)

Various examples in chronological order, for the most part. First, though, is the item that drew me to this auction website – Princess Leia’s gold bikini. (NOTE: All descriptions have had details removed so this post won’t look like War and Peace. Go to the online catalog to retreive full details of any item listed below.)

#1558. CARRIE FISHER “SLAVE LEIA” COSTUME COLLECTION AND DISPLAY FROM STAR WARS: EPISODE VI – RETURN OF THE JEDI. (TCF, 1983) Without question, Carrie Fisher’s “Slave Leia” costume is among the most memorable in the Star Wars franchise. This ensemble represents the most important and complete compilation of original Star Wars pieces to have survived production in private hands. Completing the ensemble are a collection of original documents, photos, notes and pencil drawings as well as Carrie Fisher’s measurements used to create the masters. The collection comes with a letter of authenticity by Richard Miller the original designer, sculptor, mold maker and painter for the costume. $80,000 – $120,000 (p. 516)

Some names from Hollywood’s early years include: Clara Bow, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbow, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, James Cagney, Hedy Lamarr, Jane Russell, Lauren Bacall, Laurel and Hardy, W.C Fields, and the list goes on and on.

However, at this point the costumers had not made their choice of ruby slippers and on page 27 we have a close-up of the silver shoes.

For the sake of trying to keep this post from getting too long, I’m going to simply list some more cool items but without images and description or minimum description. Unless it’s something that is best to be seen.

Growing up in the early 70’s, I was a huge fan of the Saturday morning show, “Land of the Lost.” Never missed an episode. Even though the Sleestaks frightened me, I loved them nonetheless. This next item is a Sleestak costume which is mounted. Although this costume is from the movie released in 2009 (which I did not like), not the Saturday morning show. At least they kept the Sleestaks the same, though, when they created the re-make of the Saturday morning show.
