As noted in recent articles, there are many Star Trek “Original Series” (1966-1969) era prop replicas that have been traded in the marketplace as authentic, fooling experts, dealers, and auction houses, as well as collectors.
As a result, there are profound challenges in authenticating the iconic, high value props from this classic television series, especially the Tricorder, Communicator, and Phaser. The current ’state of the marketplace’ poses a significant potential risk for Star Trek collectors who could inadvertently buy an inauthentic piece.
The most productive manner in which collectors can help other collectors to mitigate this risk is by talking to one another, sharing information, and spreading awareness of the ’state of the marketplace’ for these types of props and underscoring the importance of formal and thorough authentication.
I thought it would be productive to catalog and archive information relevant to these props.
I was just this week reviewing some old auction catalogs I acquired, and was surprised at the number of Original Series Tricorders, Phasers, Hand Phasers, and Communicators that have been offered at public auction events.
I am in the process of obtaining scans from other collectors with more substantive catalog collections than myself, but thought I would post a “Part 1” article to begin this process of cataloging the information and photos of these pieces previously offered for sale to the public.
Events denoted [HIGH RESOLUTION] were scanned by me in higher resolution along with full descriptions; others have no photos or lower resolution photos and limited descriptions. Listed chronologically.
