Indiana Jones whisk rises to auction and could recover $ 500,000, but belongs to a museum

Indicate the John Williams Fanfare and wear your Fedora, iconic Bullwhip of Indiana Jones from Indiana Jones and the last crusade He is hitting the lock of the auction. And if you have $ 500,000 only around, you may be able to take it home.

The whisk is up for grabs through Propstore this September and is supplied with the entire system, which includes the font, belt and everything else. Was used by Harrison Ford In the 1989 Spielberg adventure film.

The Whip is an eight feet beast made by David Morgan, “Maestro Whipmaker who provided all the original whips for the classic Indiana Jones trilogy”, according to the press release of the House of Auction.

This particular set is the only combination of whip/fondina/belt known by the film in private hands, previously owned by an anonymous “production source” to which he worked The last crusade. It has never been on sale before and, considering the origin, it is unlikely that it is reappeared soon.

The whisk also brings some production labels that connect it to the famous “standing scene”, as well as to a “call sheet used by the production” linked to the emotional chase of motorcycles shot in the county of Marin, in California. But that’s not all: there is a reason to believe that it was used before in production during the shoots in the United Kingdom and Spain.

According to Propstore: “The whisk and the font are fixed by metal ties added by the team of stage objects to keep the set together. The whisk also brings dark signs from previous bonds, in line with the way it was worn by rolling on the Indy belt during filming.”

Estimated to take between $ 250,000 and $ 500,000, this is not exactly a purchase of impulses. But for the right collector, this is the type of thing that does not hide on a shelf, build an alter for this.

Now, if you don’t have that type of money, Indiana Jones and the last crusade He is returning to the big screen for Father’s Day weekend, courtesy of Fathom Events. Captured on June 14-15 and 18 in theaters selected nationally.
