THE PRICE OF FAME? "Indy" Whip Sold At Auction

A recent auction of Hollywood memorabilia included one of the bullwhips used by Harrison Ford in an Indiana Jones adventure film.

What was the price one person thought it was worth?

Hold on to your hat, Buckaroo: it was $56,050.00! And even this was not a record for the auction price of a used on-screen Indiana Jones bullwhip!

The bullwhip was one of many whips used by Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." Whips for all the Indy films have been made by legendary whipmaker David Morgan, with additional whips from Joe Strain. Aussie Terry Jacka provided some whips used in the fourth and most recent installment of the ongoing saga.

I hope owners of authentic Indiana Jones used on-screen bullwhips know which scene their whips appeared in. It's kind of hard to keep track. To help things along, I will share with you a Youtube video which purports to be a compilation of all the whip shots in the series (well, the first three, apparently).
