Mr. Hammond's 'Jurassic Park' Amber-Tipped Cane Sold for $32K

Another one of those iconic movie props I would LOVE to own: John Hammond's dinosaur bone amber-topped cane from Jurassic Park as carried by Sir Richard Attenborough.

The amber top has much significance for the first Jurassic Park film; the mosquito being the key component in bringing the dinosaurs to life. The cane sold for $32,000 (USD).
