Elf movie costume sells for £239,000 at auction
The costume, from the 2003 film Elf and owned by producer Jon Berg, sold for £239,400 at a London auction with provenance linked to a distinctive lift scene.
- Propstore sold a screen-used Buddy the Elf costume for 239,400 pounds during its London auction, screen-matched to a lift scene with distinctive hand-stitching.
- Because only a few costumes were made, the auction house said Propstore estimated the outfit could sell for up to 200,000 and that it came directly from producer Jon Berg's collection, giving it clear provenance.
- Among headline lots, Boba Fett's EE-3 carbine blaster sold for £459,900, while Obi‑Wan Kenobi's lightsaber achieved £331,000 at the auction.
- Several lots exceeded estimates, with Indiana Jones' fedora selling for £365,400 and Marty McFly's hoverboard fetching £233,100, Propstore said, reflecting strong bidder demand.
- The auction runs through to Sunday, with animation on the final day, Sunday, 7 December, showcasing more than 300 lots and high-profile film memorabilia.
