CASINO (1995) - Nicky Santoro's (Joe Pesci) SFX Retractable Ballpoint Pen - Nicky Santoro's (Joe Pesci) SFX retractable ballpoint pen from Martin Scorsese's Casino. After a gambler (Joey De Pinto) told Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) to stick his pen up his ass, Nicky brutally stabbed him with it.

Joe Pesci was nominated for Best Villain at the MTV Movie Awards while the film won a total of four awards including a 20/20 Award to Thelma Schoonmaker for Best Film Editing, a Golden Globe Award to Sharon Stone for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, and two Nastro d'Argento or "Silver Ribbons" to Dante Ferretti for Best Production Design and Gigi Proietti for Best Male Dubbing for De Niro.

This faux gold- and silver-plated metal pen is designed and branded by production to resemble a real-world Montblanc Meisterstuck ballpoint. The writing end of the pen is designed to retract when applied with pressure for special effects inserts of Santoro stabbing it into his victim. That mechanism is somewhat loose and the pen's tip exhibits tarnishing from production use. Dimensions: 6.5" x 0.5" x 0.5" (16.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm)

Contains mechanical components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $3,000 - 6,000
