This set of five auction catalogs are from the historic Metro Goldwyn Mayer Public Auction dated Sunday, May 3, 1970. This is the event that started it all and gave collectors of the time a chance to own many rare studio artifacts, including the blue and white gingham jumper worn by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz”. This set of books is an invaluable asset to any prop and wardrobe collector’s library. The books are in very good condition with only minor wear. There are a few pages in one of the books with color photos. The catalogs contained items from miniatures, weaponry, vintage cars, set dressing, props and star wardrobe. This is a very rare opportunity as these catalogs don’t surface very often for sale. ** Included with the catalogs is a rare unused MGM Auction Proxy Bid Card from the auction.
The item(s) may have varying levels of wear and/or studio distressing, please see the listing images for exact condition.
