Sam Spade's chair from classic 1941 film noir The Maltese Falcon is the lead lot of Bonhams' entertainment memorabilia auction in Los Angeles on March 1.
It carries an estimate of $75,000-100,000.
 Sam Spade's chair appears throughout the film |
The chair can be seen in Spade's (played by Humphrey Bogart) apartment and is visible throughout much of the film - including the climactic final scene.
In 2013, the titular Maltese Falcon statuette from the film sold for $4m at Bonhams, becoming one of the most valuable pieces of movie memorabilia ever sold.
A copy of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind (1938) signed by the cast of the 1939 film is valued at $20,000-30,000.
The lot features signatures from Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Haviland alongside 20 supporting actors. Actor Fred Crane gave it to his sister-in-law as a gift.
Bonhams comments: "Cast-signed copies of Gone With the Wind are extremely rare at auction, with one signed by 29 actors selling for $135,300 in 2012."
A cowhide jacket worn by Jim Morrison at a 1969 Doors concert at New York's Madison Square Garden is expected to make $15,000-20,000.
Morrison threw the jacket into the crowd, where the consignor's boyfriend caught it.
Journalist Donald Flynn described the moment in a January 25, 1969 review of the show in the New York Times: "Morrison majestically let fly with an eloquent belch and flung his jacket into his audience. The jacket went like a cow in a river swarming with piranhas."
