00:00and then like, this is my phone number, this is my schedule for the day, and this is my pack of food.
00:18I think a lot of Star Wars fans, in fact every Star Wars fan, will remember the moment when
00:47Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi pull up at Mos Eisley spaceport and they're stopped by the Stormtroopers
00:54and of course we see Obi-Wan Kenobi use his Jedi mind trick, saying these aren't the droids that you're looking for
01:01and then the Stormtrooper that tells them to move along, that's this Stormtrooper helmet.
01:06In the world of Stormtroopers there were only about 30 complete Stormtrooper costumes made for the original Star Wars film.
01:14From that you can distill it down to Sandtroopers and this is actually a Sandtrooper helmet
01:18and there were only half a dozen of those made and so it's an incredibly rare artefact as well.
01:43Well I think if you're a James Bond fan we have pretty much anything and everything that's going to suit your personal tastes.
02:07Everything from Daniel Craig costumes to the Bond girl costumes, we've got gadgets, we've got weapons, we've even got the number plate J80ND
02:16so if you're a James Bond fan and you've got an Aston Martin and you want to plonk it on the front, you could drive round dressed as Mr James Bond
02:22with the number plate James Bond as well.
02:52I think one of the most exciting costume pieces we have has come in to us from a costume house in Italy.
03:16It's never before been offered at market, it was in fact discovered after Propstal went to visit them hunting for some of these artefacts
03:23and it's Clint Eastwood's Duster from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
03:27Now the Duster is a synonymous attire for most Western films, this is deemed to be one of the best Western films perhaps of all times
03:36and Clint Eastwood costume pieces from those films virtually never ever turn up so we're super excited to have that.
04:17So from Harry Potter we have a really comprehensive collection of items coming up to go under the hammer
04:24and that ranges from small hand props and set deck pieces right the way up to Harry's wand from the first film and even the Marauders map
04:32so if you're a Harry Potter fan you've really got to check out the catalogue.
04:46I think the buyers for props and costumes just is incredibly mixed and diverse to be honest with you.
05:15We see some pieces go to museums, they go into institutions, they go to exhibitions for events
05:21but we also see very passionate collectors who want to acquire these and own them personally.
05:28They are much harder to display though of course, costumes take up a lot of space
05:32so generally speaking I think a lot of costume collectors have the costumes they have perhaps in storage for a period of time
05:38and they might rotate them out.
05:40Props are a little bit easier to display perhaps on a shelf or on a pedestal.
06:10.
