Bonhams to Sell Indiana Jones’ Bullwhip

Bonhams to Sell Indiana Jones’ Bullwhip (1)

Bonhams will hold a special sale in Los Angeles this month, dedicated to true Indiana Jones fans. Several items from the famous “Raiders of the Lost Ark” movie will be offered on June 26, shortly after the movie’s 30th anniversary date (June 12, 1981).

The star of the event will be Indiana’s iconic bullwhip, which is 12.5 feet long and still in mint condition. Six identical bullwhips were used during shooting, but this particular one is said to be the only one that appeared in the scene where Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) was dragged behind a truck. Presale estimates say that the whip could fetch between $50,000 and $70,000.

Another important item at the sale will be the golden idol from the movie, which will probably sale for $20,000 to $30,000. All lots will come with a letter of provenance from special effects expert Kit West, the mechanical effects supervisor on this particular Indiana Jones movie.
