Hundreds of movie and television memorabilia like Star Wars, Batman to be auctioned in November

Michael Keaton's batsuit from Batman Returns

From Yoda's cane to Clint Eastwood's duster coat in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, hundreds of items will go under the hammer next month in a sale of movie and television memorabilia.

Propstore is selling more than 1,800 items at its annual live auction, which this year runs from November 14 to 17, and which it estimates could fetch more than 10 million pounds.

Items worn or used by some of Hollywood's biggest names are up for grabs, with plenty of products from some of cinema's biggest franchises including the James Bond and Harry Potter films.

Leading the sale is a Sandtrooper helmet from the "Move Along" scene in Star Wars: A New Hope. It is priced between 250,000 pounds to 500,000 pounds.

Speaking to Reuters, Propstore founder and Chief Executive Stephen Lane said, "It's an incredibly rare artefact.”

The Yoda cane being sold was used in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Propstore said.

An array of costumes are being sold, including Michael Keaton's Batsuit from Batman Returns, a suit worn by Daniel Craig in Bond film Skyfall and the 2015 resizing jacket Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future Part II.

Eastwood's duster coat from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is also among the lots.

"The duster is a synonymous attire for most Western films," Lane said. "This is deemed to be one of the best Western films, perhaps of all times and Clint Eastwood costume pieces from those films virtually never, ever turn up," Lane said.

Other highlights include Russell Crowe's Maximus arena helmet and mask from Gladiator, the Ghostface mask worn by Henry Winkler as principal Arthur Himbry in Scream and a dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra.
