I actually really like Hill Dickinson for that reason, it sounds like a place or street name and is a company that has local origins+ the connection with maritime law and the docks. Sounded odd at first but once it settles into the brain a bit...

re this, can understand the kick back against corporate america, can also see the Mangioni aspect and empathise with the cause.

Exactly… The cameraman or the best boy might decide to keep a momento from his time on the set. Last day on the job, no ones really going to be taking prop inventory. Agreed, mate… Not one of Wes Anderson’s better films. 🤷

Ford gave the Indiana Jones whip going up for auction to then-Prince Charles at the 1989 UK premiere of The Last Crusade. It was given as a gift https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/star-wars-indiana-jones-auction-b2768184.html

Right up there with Indiana Jones' hat or whip. Movie freaks are all over that shiz.

Yeah, that's part of the mystique here, new hope 77, empire 80, jedi 83. Someone held onto and reused the same prop in light of the success and the hype of the time for 6 or 7 years? I'm questioning the provenance here. If it had been prized out...

It’s not that uncommon for extra props to magically grow legs and disappear off a set, once the movie has been completed. Especially back then.

It's to early on a Saturday morning for 'should', I've not got it in me. Rumour is it was owned by one of the prop guys, but I can't confirm that.

Film props are a fairly new phenomenon, the fact the vader sabre was in all 3 original films makes it kind of special. Can see this sort of stuff becoming like fine art, a fantastic investment that holds or better acquires value.

I'm guessing to the owner of the object with a heavy slice to the shutbag* auction parasites.

'conkers'?

Looks like Francis Dolarhyde in the Red Dragon :lol:

It's chicos all the way down
