INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC (ILM) - Stuart Ziff Collection: "TIE Tie" (TIE Fighter Necktie) Gag Gift - A "TIE Tie" gag gift given by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) co-founder Richard Edlund to Academy Award& reg;-winning effects artist Stuart Ziff. Known jokingly as a "TIE tie" due to being both tied to resemble a wearable tie and printed throughout with black TIE fighter graphics, this clear celluloid tie comes from Ziff's collection. The celluloid exhibits yellowing and staining, most visibly around the knot, and several graphics have flaked off from age.

This lot comes from the collection of effects pioneer Stuart Ziff. Upon moving to Edlund's Entertainment Effects Group (later renamed Boss Film Studios) in 1983, Ziff headed the 50-person "Ghost Shop" responsible for the groundbreaking demonic special effects in Ivan Reitman's comedy classic Ghostbusters. Numerous ghosts and spectral phenomena created for the picture, including the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man's costume, immediately landed in the American pop culture lexicon, where they've remained for nearly four decades. Propstore is proud to offer never-beforeseen production materials from Stuart Ziff's pioneering work on Ghostbusters, alongside other one-of-a-kind memorabilia from his 40-plus-year career as a Hollywood pioneer.

Estimate: $400 - 800
