Harryhausen Props & Memorabilia Hit the Block
On December 13, Surrey’s Ewbank’s Auctions will offer up more than 200 lots of special effects and animation legend Ray Harryhausen’s collection — including props, original drawings, prototype models, scripts, letters and posters. The items are consigned by his longtime friend, biographer and film historian Tony Dalton: “This collection is very personal to me because it comes, on the whole, from the hands of the man himself and each item has a memory for me. I hope whoever buys the items will get as much pleasure from them as I have.”
