Title backgrounds are among the rarest of all vintage production artifacts, as in many cases only a single background was created for an entire credit sequence.

When director Otto Preminger was asked about his experience making the film, his only collaboration with Marilyn, he was reported to have remarked, “She had no talent as an actress, but she had one thing the camera gets.” Measuring 15”x41”, the title board is in very good condition with only minimal wear. $3,000-$5,000

29. Gilda Studio-Issued Reproduction One Sheet Poster. (Columbia, c.1989) A very rare studio-issued archival cibachrome reproduction of the classic one sheet Gilda poster that was created specifically for Columbia Pictures at the time of their acquisition by Sony.

Green was sent original vintage posters directly from the studio’s collection to use in creating the very few posters such as this, which were only created for studio use, with the exception of this one poster, which Green was allowed to retain from the project. Original one sheets for Gilda are among the most sought-after posters from the Golden Age of Hollywood, with a Gilda poster such as this from such a unique point in cinema history being exceptionally rare.

The period epic The Robe and the Marilyn Monroe comedy How to Marry a Millionaire were among the first CinemaScope productions to hit theaters, both showcasing the incredible potential of the process. The once boundary-breaking technology fell into decline in the 1960s as more flexible and less expensive anamorphic processes were developed. Fox shot its last CinemaScope films, In Like Flint and Caprice, in 1967. The artwork has a display size of 17”x27.5” visible through its 23.75”x34” frame.

MacDonald) for art director Edward Carfagno. There are numerous hand-annotations throughout the diagram as well as the stamp “1724-51.” Ben-Hur represented a staggering achievement in both special and miniature effects, virtually sweeping the technical categories at the 1960 Oscars.

94. Star Trek Las Vegas Archive. (Landmark Ent./Paramount Parks, 1992-98) An archive of (70+) blueprints for the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton and concept artwork for the Starship Enterprise Downtown Las Vegas monument by the Landmark Entertainment Group. In 1992, the balance of commerce in Las Vegas had swung heavily from the downtown region to the Las Vegas Strip with its modern hotels, casinos, and tourist attractions. In an effort to bring visitors back downtown, a consortium of hotel and casino owners financed a contest to find the best redevelopment project. Designer, producer, and entrepreneur Gary Goddard thought he had the answer to make downtown Vegas an essential destination once again: build a full-scale model of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek. The wild idea found traction with the downtown business community and local politicians, as well as the licensing department at Paramount Studios. For his part, Goddard hired Disney Imagineers to make sure the mammoth fictional spacecraft could actually be built in a structurally sound manner, able to withstand the inhospitable desert climate, and accommodate heavy daily tourist traffic. It initially appeared as if Vegas would actually get its Enterprise, until Goddard, financiers, the Las Vegas mayor, and their studio contacts met with Paramount CEO Stanley Jaffe. Though the studio stood to make millions from licensing and an untold fortune in merchandizing, Jaffe, to the shock and dismay of all, was the sole dissenter. He argued if a movie flopped, it would be forgotten in a few weeks. However, if a project with this degree of permanence failed to come off, it would be a considered a monument to folly (specifically, his). With that, the project was killed. This concept street map, accomplished in marker, ink, watercolor, crayon, and ink stamp on foam core board, offers a glimpse at the surreal cityscape that might have been. The artwork is paired with an archive of (70+) blueprints, diagrams, and schematics from Goddard’s next venture: the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, which opened in 1998. Comprising plans for Star Trek Base Building, home of the Experience, and the adjoining, similarly themed SpaceQuest casino, this collection of technical material showcases visionary designers boldly going where no one had before and offers a wealth of insight into the construction of the popular attraction. The map measures 27.25”x36” and is in very good condition with some edge wear and minor soiling in the blank margins. The blueprints are staple bound (a few loose pages) and each measures 30.5”x42”. They are in very good condition, exhibiting minor handling and some corner creasing. $700-$900 46

462. The Dick Van Dyke Show “Uhny Uftz” UFO Prop. (CBS, 1965) A one-of-a-kind screen used prop from The Dick Van Dyke Show. This UFO prop was used in the episode “Uhny Uftz” in the show’s fifth season. In the episode, Rob (Dick Van Dyke) sees a UFO uttering the strange phrase “Uhny Uftz” during a late night of work, but he is unable to convince others of what he saw. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that the “UFO” was actually just a prototype toy being developed for the holiday season. This prop is that same UFO shown on screen at the climax of the episode. Composed of hand-painted fiberglass, wood, and metal, the prop is hollow and very light-weight, as is needed to spin and hover about the room. Three small holes can be seen on top of the UFO where wire was used to manipulate the prop throughout the room. As was somewhat common for studio props at the time, this same UFO was later repainted and slightly altered, believed to be for additional use in another production. However, below the silver paint are several clear indentations and markings of the original “windows” and accents on the prop, as it originally appeared in the episode. This is a wonderful artifact from The Dick Van Dyke Show, as props from this era of television seldom survived. Measuring 30” in diameter and 18” tall, the prop is in good used condition with worn areas, chips, small breaks or cracks, and general paint wear. An electrical cord was later added to illuminate the top dome, however it no longer lights. Special shipping arrangements may apply, please inquire for details and estimates. $2,000-$4,000 187

Less than a handful of surviving examples of this highly sought after sci-fi toy are known to exist.

The control panel features a steering wheel which controls the battery operated directional signals and the moves the needle on the blast off counter meter/speedometer, static windshield wiper and cigarette lighter knobs, a radio with static tuner knob, plastic bubbles for the fuel meter and coordinate locater, and a metal key with ball chain loop and red plastic automobile fob. The directional signals are not currently functioning; the right indicator lightbulb appears to be burnt out and the left bulb is absent. A cardboard dashboard with printed reel to reel computer graphic, series logo, and sci-fi gauges attaches to the top of the panel with the included metal clips. The control panel is accompanied by a paper Space License blank with safe traveling rules such as “Whenever you pull into a space station for fuel, make sure that the attendant checks your oil, battery water [sic] and food supply.” A galaxy map is printed on the back of the license, to which a child has added an additional planet with orbital path beyond Pluto. Measuring 15.75”x10.75” and 9.35” deep, the original box is in very good condition with some surface punctures to top flaps, tears to interior flaps, minor stress lines with no surface loss, darkening from age. The front applique label has a minor tear at top left and a small strip of surface loss at upper right. The control panel with dashboard measures 9.75”x12.75” and 5” deep. It is also in very good condition, exhibiting a 1.25” crack to the speedometer/launch meter, unobtrusive creasing to the decal to the right of the wheel, a small chip to the radio housing, a 2.5” vertical crack to the cardboard dash, a 1” horizontal crack, a 1” crease, and small tears at the side panel folds. This is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to own one of the rarest and most charming character sci-fi toys of the 1960s. $4,000-$6,000 214

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AUCTION 1. This auction is presented by Love of Art, LLC. The auction is conducted under the terms and conditions set forth herein and applicable state and local laws. Announcements on the day of auction, whether printed or announced from the podium, shall supersede those in the printed catalogue.

2. Buyer’s Premium: All bids are subject to a Buyer’s Premium which shall be added to all placed successful bids.

3. Bidders and Buyers Bound: All persons placing bids, participating or registering in the auction agree to be bound by, and accept, the Terms and Conditions of the auction.

4. Qualification: All Bidders must meet auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the auctioneer may be disqualified at auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded any lots. Such determination may be made by the auctioneer in his sole and absolute discretion prior to, during, and after the close of any auction.

5. Exclusion: The auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any persons of entity: (a) from bidding, or (b) from the floor of the auction on the day of sale.

6. Guaranty: If any entity places any bid, then the individual actually placing the bid shall guaranty payment for any successful bid.

7. Credit: Bidders shall establish credit with the auctioneer prior to placing bids. Auctioneer shall be the sole determiner of whether or not credit of any Bidder is satisfactory to auctioneer. If Bidder is not known to auctioneer, a proposed Bidder shall furnish satisfactory credit information (”SCI”) at least five business days prior to the auction. Such SCI shall include two credit references, a social security number, and appropriate credit card information. Auctioneer reserves the right to make a credit check of any proposed Bidder and such Bidder consents to the making of such a credit check. The acceptance of checks is in the auctioneer’s sole discretion and may be based on a variety of criteria, such as a credit bureau report, a bank check, or otherwise. The auctioneer will accept, up to five business days prior to the date of the auction, deposits for bidding, if the check is a local check; or up to 10 business days before deposit if the check is not a local check. Such deposits will be kept in an attorney’s trust account, and shall not be applied to any payment absent a successful recognized bid. Those bidding on the Internet must pre-register at least one business day before the auction and bids will not be accepted if pre-registration has not occurred.

8. Bidding Procedures by Mail or Fax: All mail or fax bids shall be signed.

9. Bidding Increments: The bidding increments shall be utilized as specified in Paragraph 15; and if any bid does not so conform, the bid will be lowered to the highest increment lower than the mail bid. Non-internet bids (such as, for example only, bids from the podium, fax, mail, or telephone bids) shall be treated similarly to floor bids in that the bidding increments shall be utilized; and if the bid does not so conform, the bid will be lowered to the highest increment that is lower than the bid. Any Bidder may once in an auction for a particular lot bid a “half-increment”. Once a “half-increment” bid is accepted no other half-increment bids will be accepted on that particular lot. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the auctioneer may solicit or accept bids that are not incremental in nature.

10.

Identical Bids: Preference will be given to the bid first received.

11. Execution of Bids by Auctioneer: Auctioneer is not responsible for errors in your bids. CHECK YOUR BIDS BEFORE SUBMITTING THEM TO THE AUCTIONEER. Auctioneer is not responsible for any failure in executing mail or fax bids received on the day of the auction or later. All written bids should be received two business days before the auction. Auctioneer is not responsible for proper execution of bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, email, Internet, or in person, once the auction begins. Electronically placed bids may not be withdrawn.

12. Technology Failure: In the event that auctioneer experiences an outage of the Internet, or telephone service the auctioneer may extend the time for bidding on any lot in the auction. The auctioneer reserves the right to “take a break” for any reason during the course of the auction.

13. Delivery of Lots: Lots won by Bidders will not be delivered on the day of the auction. All items must be shipped, or they will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus.

17. Auctioneer May Grant Concessions to Consignors or Bidders: The auctioneer, in his discretion, may extend guarantees, loans, or advances to consignors. The auctioneer reserves the right to extend additional credit by way of extended payment terms at its sole discretion.

18. Minimum or Nominal Bids: The auctioneer will set a minimum bid before a lot can be sold. Bids below the minimum bid may not be accepted or recognized by the auctioneer. Further, nominal bids, or small opening bids, or very nominal advances in the bidding may not be recognized by the auctioneer, in its sole discretion. Any lot not receiving any recognized bid shall be passed.

19. Winner of Lot: The highest qualified bidder recognized by the auctioneer shall be the Buyer. In the event of a tie bid, the bid received first by the auctioneer shall prevail. If there is a dispute among Bidders, the auctioneer may in his sole and absolute discretion re-offer the lot. There are times when a bid may not be recognized by the auctioneer; in that situation the recognized bid will be the winning bid regardless of whether or not the competing, but unrecognized bid, may have been higher. The auctioneer may in his absolute discretion re-open the bidding immediately after closing a lot to accept any bid in error not previously recognized.

20. Good Faith Bidding: Auctioneer reserves the right to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid. All bids must be made in good faith. A bid is not made in good faith, if it is made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a minor, or if made in excess of any applicable credit limit.

22. Rescission of Sale of Lot: Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of any lot in the event of non-payment, disputed ownership, clerical error, clerical omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason in the auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion.

23. Lots Sold After Auction: In some cases lots will be sold after the auction. The Terms and Conditions apply to those sales as well.

24. Payment in Dollars: All sales are strictly for cash; and payment must be made in United States Dollars.

25. Amount of Payment: All deliveries, and transfers of title, are subject to the full payment of all monies due for the lot, including the payment of the separate Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium shall be 18% of the highest successful recognized bid for inperson, phone, or absentee bidding; 21% for bids placed through internet platforms. Auctioneer retains the Buyer's Premium as its own property.

26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

Risk of loss passes to the Buyer on the TRANSFER DATE. Delivery costs and insurance during delivery are the responsibility of the Buyer. Frames are sold as-is. Auctioneer is not responsible for damage to a framed item during shipment. Such breakage shall not be the basis for return for any lot. All items must be shipped, or will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus.

28. Interest: Any unpaid invoice will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by California law.

31. No Warranties: NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOGUE OR ON THE DAY OF AUCTION. Descriptions are only being presented for the benefit of those bidders who have not had the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding and no description in the catalogue shall create any warranty. Color variations are to be expected and are not the basis for any return of any lot. Auctioneer is only selling the right, title, and interest of any lot that has been consigned to the Auctioneer by virtue of any consignment agreements. The Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability.

32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages. Up to the date that the auctioneer pays the consignor (45 days after the close of the auction sessions), and in the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver a lot, or if it is established that the lot lacks title, or some other transfer or condition issue is claimed, the sole remedy of the Bidder up to a date six months after the close of the auction sessions shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of any amount paid by the Buyer. After the consignor is paid by the auctioneer the sole remedy of the Buyer is against the consignor, and vice versa.

33. Statements are Opinions: In consideration of participation in the auction, and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases auctioneer, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, outside experts, and attorneys the (”RELEASEES”) from any and all claims, causes of action, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown that he/she/it may have with respect to the auction, the catalogue, the conduct of the auction, or the lots being purchased. By not complying with the terms of this Release, Bidder waives any and all claims against the RELEASEES. A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties.

This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial.

35. Prohibited Activities: Any agreement between consignors and bidders to sell by private sale any lot, or to effect a non-sale of an item at auction is prohibited and auctioneer reserves the right to collect from the bidder the Buyer’s Premium.
