Bonhams to auction Sirius Black overcoat

[Guest]

On March 6, Bonhams will be auctioning many movie and TV costumes, including the gray linen overcoat worn by Gary Oldman in POA.  The auction house will allow potential bidders the opportunity to try on some of the items (that sounds like fun ).  Could this be Artbox's chance at finally getting a Sirius Black costume?

*song pops into my head...."If I had a million dollars...."  *

Why don't we get it?

I have a pal who works for Bonhams (he went in on some kind of Grad job) so I'd be ok for finding out the ropes.... Hmmmm... interesting .

Artbox should definitely buy it but I perhaps it will go for more money than they normally pay for their items.

Hmm...take up a collection...win the coat...send it on a Yak World Tour...then send it to Artbox for a YakShack exclusive costume card.

I'm up for it!

Here are two studio promotional shots that show the overcoat:

4k? For that... geez, when I spend that much on a coat I expect decent tailoring

[kbmum]

Yes, but would that coat have 12 years of Azkaban dirt rubbed into it?

Bonham's now has an online catalog of the items that will be auctioned on March 6.  Many of the items don't have photos, but quite a few do, including Dr. Who, many James Bond movies, several Kenneth Branagh costumes, and an Orlando Bloom costume, too.  Here's the link to the Sirius Black coat:

WOW! How awesome! I like Cindy's idea--let's get Sirius' coat, send it around and get a card out of it!

I know where I am going when I win the lottery tomorrow

[kbmum]

Good luck, Dawn!  When I saw the Dr. Who costumes, I immediately thought of you.

[Morningangel-Iola]

I didn't spot them :-( Which ones did they have?

[kbmum]

They have costumes from Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker (complete with scarf, but it was for a traveling exhibit and not worn for the show), Weng Chainag, Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, and a couple more.  Please try this link and search for "Dr. Who.".

I missed this earlier, but they also have part of the Madam Hooch costume.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Thanks I didn't find them before and I did a search, they were just hiding it from me.

Oh yes we could deffo make our own cards

Orlando Bloom? £800-£1000? Hark! Is that the sound of Jo booking a ticket to London?

Bonhams is holding the auction right now.  The complete Tom Baker Dr. Who outfit sold for £20,500.   It looks like the HP and Star Wars auctions haven't hit the block yet.

WOW!! It's cool seeing all of that and what it's selling for!
