Indiana Jones Whip Sells $525K at Heritage Entertainment Auction

A whip wielded by Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," which once belonged to Princess Diana, sold at auction for $525,000. The whip was used during the Holy Grail trials scene in the 1989 film and was originally given by Ford to Prince Charles at the UK premiere, then passed to Diana before reaching the current owner. This auction is part of a Summer Entertainment Auction by Heritage Auctions, which has become the second-highest grossing entertainment auction of all time. The day before, the Rosebud sled from the 1941 film "Citizen Kane" sold for $14.75 million, making it one of the priciest movie props in history, second only to Judy Garland's ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz." Other notable items yet to be auctioned include Macaulay Culkin's knit cap from "Home Alone," prop swords from "Kill Bill Vol. 1," and a signed first edition set of Harry Potter novels. Heritage Auctions' executive vice president highlighted the whip as a symbol of an iconic cinematic character and a highlight of the auction.
