Who owns the oldest screen used prop ?

[Megamicrofish]

I thought this would be an interesting topic.
who has the oldest screen used prop?
An original prop from Indiana Jones ROTLA for instance would be nearly 30 years old, I'm sure some of you have a lot older props?

I'll start the ball rolling with a screen-used Pike from the Princess Bride (1987)

Thats 20 years old...

I have screenused stuff from ANH but there are a couple of guys with screenused pieces from Wizard of Oz which would take oldest piece I would think.

Yeah, I have nothing to compare but I have to say, this is one of the best, freshest topics I've seen in a while. Kudos! :thumbsup

I own nothing screen used but my grandfather has a hunk off waxy stuff that he swears is part of Lon Cheney's face from the old Phantom of the Opera movie. I have no idea if it is or not though....:lol

Who has the old metal skeleton of the King Kong miniature? That's got some years on it...

 

[Serenity]

The owner of the original 1933 Kong would be Bob Burns. If you google his name, you'll find some good stories about his prop collection and his history in the movie business.

Given the size of Forrest J. Ackerman's collection he might have something that pre-dates 1916, but I don't think he's a member here.

It's from the 4th segment of the film:
THE BABYLONIAN STORY (539 B.C.): (Gray-Green Tint) peace-loving Prince Belshazzar's Babylon at the time of its Siege and Fall by King Cyrus the Persian, due to the treacherous High Priests - and the Mountain Girl's vain efforts to avert the tragedy. The outdoor set for the Babylonian sequences was the largest ever created for a Hollywood film up to its time, and its crowd shots with 16,000 extras were also some of the greatest in cinematic history.

I own parts of the original (not Apollo 13 movie) Apollo 11. The world watched in awe as the USA landed on the moon. That was back in 1968, so does that count as screen used?

Ive got a wooden German stick grenade from the Big Red One.

I own the ladies hat from Roundhay Garden Scene filmed in 1888:
