Wanna Buy some Lynda Carter 'Wonder Woman' Props at Auction?
For all you Wonder Woman aficionados- how about the chance to own some props from the original tv series starring Lynda Carter?
In PropStore's TV Treasures auction, there are two iconic props the superhero used up for auction; a bent 'steel pipe' and a bent rifle.
The official description for the pipe (lot #99) reads:
Wonder Woman's (Lynda Carter) bent pipe from the action adventure superhero series Wonder Woman. Made of foam rubber and hand-painted with a faux metal finish, this rod is threaded on one side and has a ¾" deep peg hole on the other. While the foam rubber is stiffening from age, it is in good, production-used vintage condition overall.
In the episode 'The Girl from Ilandia' (221), Wonder Woman takes a girl (Julie Anne Haddock) endowed with superhuman powers and trains her, bending the rod to showcase her incredible strength.
Dimensions: 17" x 1" x 1 1/2" (43 cm x 2 1/2 cm x 4 cm)
Estimate: $1,500 – 2,500
The description for lot #100, the bent rifle, reads:
Wonder Woman's (Lynda Carter) foam rubber rifle from the action adventure superhero series Wonder Woman. This double-barrel rifle is based on a Winchester 1892 rifle and has been hand-painted in faux wood and metal finishes. There is a curve in the barrel, a likely result of its use in production.
While it exhibits minor signs of production use, including protruding metal wiring and a broken trigger, it is in good condition overall.
This piece appears to be an alternate from the episode 'The Deadly Dolphin' (309) in which Wonder Woman confronts an evil land developer's stooge and bends his rifle, or possibly constructed for other production use.
Dimensions: 41" x 3" x 4 ¾" (104 cm x 7 ½ cm x 12 cm)
Estimate: $1,500 – 2,500
These items and more are available through PropStore's TV Treasures auction which will take place on December 1st 2018. You can read the full catalog of items on their website here.
