In viewing the collection, the public will find a treasure trove including: hero props; production models; rubber guns, sci-fi props; a five-foot diameter world globe; fairy tale movie village signs; vintage quackery; life-size prop dogs; neon signs; prop weaponry; street and traffic lights and signs; fine china and silver; pianos and jukeboxes; Disneyana; a hot air balloon basket; a Mardis Gras-style mask; robots featured in a Robin Williams movie; costumes worn by Omar Sharif; Jim Henson-produced masks from a cult sci-fi movie; a Rick Baker skeleton creation; a Jack Warden life-sized double; an oversized oil painting of George Washington; art images of Madonna and Walt Disney; and much more.

The auction spans two days, with Day One dedicated to antiques, furnishings, furniture, art and collectibles. On Day Two, Remarketing Associates will then call on the highest bidders for the Hollywood memorabilia, props and collectibles. The public can view and bid online and onsite. Event specifics include:
