I feel many people here would be very very interested in the items contained in the estate.

There are costumes, lightsabers, signed pictures, and even a piece of the Millenium Falcon!

The Graflex based saber is pretty interesting. Wonder what the story was behind it.

I know, I saw it yesterday and I think I decided it's probably not the screen used one, but it's probably special.

Don't forget to add the 20-30% in sales charges and taxes to any of those current bid prices. Costs soon spiral when you add them in.
Will be interesting to see what the est script goes for after the event.

Maybe a Parks?

 

[dcarty]

The button on that Graflex looks suspiciously like a Roman's V1, not a Parks.

 

[Sym-Cha]

That MPP is not vintage yet a replica too, check the font and distance between the letters and the black plastic sleeve underneath the clamp :

To my real genuine MPP :

Chaïm

 

[Krats]

Heh, I know it's small beans but back when I was starting out as a designer I worked at Model and Collector's Mart. I designed and printed one of the posters in the auction as a backdrop for Mr Prowse when he was doing signings. That brings back some memories. Good times.

 

[cwoodreplicas]

The Graflex is definitely a Korbanth/Parks - not some prototype.

That MPP looks like a Parks V1.

I feel slightly for the people who bought those....

 

[JoeG]

I wouldn't mind owning a Parks MPP that came from Prowse's personal collection. That's where the value is. I doubt anyone is bidding on it thinking its the actual prop. The auction certainly isn't worded that way. I think they're using the "prototype" verbage to get around any issues with LFL and the fact it's an unlicensed replica.

 

[v312]

The graflexes were described as "prototypes" for replicas, not prototypes from the movies production. But the MPP description says "an original vintage Microflash Micro Precision Products Ltd made" ... and it sure does not look like it is.
I hope whoever paid that much for the MPP realized it is a replica, but never the less saw the value as a Vader's ligtshaber replica coming from Prowse's collection.
