Bonham’s has a dazzling array of Hollywood treasures for sale in their latest auction, including Mitzi Gaynor’s costume collection, artifacts from “Gone With the Wind” (you can get an annotated screenplay, costume sketch, Scarlett’s necklace, Rhett’s vest, or even Margaret Mitchell’s contract with MGM!), and the bodice from Theda Bara’s “Cleopatra” costume! There’s an “Adventures of Robin Hood” book signed by the cast, Paul Henreid’s jacket from “Casablanca,” a dress worn by Barbara Stanwyck and Teresa Wright in two different films, a vest worn by Bob Hope in “The Princess and the Pirate,” and a prop poster for “Springtime for Hitler” from “The Producers.” There’s even a pair of Darth Vader gloves from the original “Star Wars” (now known as “A New Hope”).

Bonhams and Turner Classic Movies have joined together again for another auction of classic Hollywood memorabilia, with treasures from the golden age of movie-making, including the piano Sam plays “As Time Goes By” on in “Casablanca,” the cowardly lion’s costume from “The Wizard of Oz,” and scripts for “It Happened One Night,” “Dr. Strangelove,” and “The Lady Eve.” There’s a script of “David Copperfield” signed by the whole cast and the script supervisor’s copy of “To Kill a Mockingbird” with a small photo of the ham costume worn by Scout on the cover. There are dresses worn onscreen by Deborah Kerr, Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, and Maureen O’Hara. You can bid on Moe Howard’s watch, Laurel’s and Hardy’s suits, or a suit worn by Jerry Lewis in “The Nutty Professor.” Even if you are not a collector, it is still a lot of fun to page through the catalogue.
