  • Its royal provenance stems from Harrison Ford gifting the whip to Prince Charles at the U.K. premiere, after which Princess Diana came to own it.
  • Wednesday’s $14.75 million sale of the Citizen Kane Rosebud sled now ranks as the second-highest film prop auction price ever recorded.
  • Heritage’s Summer Entertainment Auction has secured its position as the second-highest grossing entertainment auction of all time with one day still to run.
  • Upcoming highlight lots yet to be sold include Macaulay Culkin’s Home Alone cap, a Wyatt Earp revolver, Kill Bill’s Hattori Hanzo swords and a J.K. Rowling–signed first edition Harry Potter set.
