Mirror Mirror or Deja Vu? Premiere Props “Mirror Mirror” Movie Props and Costumes (including “the one and only one”) in Back To Back Auctions?

Mark Short published an interesting article on his “Propstop” blog last night concerning the March 10th ‘Hollywood Movie Costume Live Auction’ held by Premiere Props.  While I had already reported on some confusing elements of the sale leading up to it (see “‘Hollywood Movie Costume Live Auction’, Confusion Regarding Material Offered at Auction” and “Premiere Props Adds Some “Hollywood” to their ‘Hollywood Movie Costume Live Auction’”), what Mark observed during the live auction and uncovered in his subsequent research looking at this week’s subsequent Premiere Props sale raises new questions about some of the few “Hollywood” lots from Mirror Mirror (2012) that comprised the now concluded “Hollywood” auction, with one piece sold therein earlier this month described as “the one and only” and the same piece being added to this weekend’s upcoming auction catalog.

Premiere Props Adds Some “Hollywood” to their ‘Hollywood Movie Costume Live Auction’ Sale Event on March 10th & 11th

Premiere Props has updated the online catalog for their “Hollywood Movie Costume Live Auction”, since the Original Prop Blog article previewing the sale was published on March 4th.  As noted in that article, confusion surrounded the fact that it was unclear which costumes, if any, were made for and/or used in film and/or television productions.  Today, just three days prior to the beginning of the two day sale event, approximately a little over 100 additional lots have been added to Session 1 on March 10th, most of which are items attributed to use in film and television.  I also have confirmation from the publicist for Premiere Props that “[t]he theatrical costumes were used in stage productions – not in film and television” (i.e. the original 2,800+ lots).
