The midcentury master of stop-motion animation, Ray Harryhausen, died at the age of 92 in 2013. Among his most noteworthy movies were The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, and the original version of Clash of the Titans.

On October 17th “a selection of his personal collection of career memorabilia” will be put up for sale at John Nicholson’s Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers in Surrey, England.

If you’re bank account isn’t completely depleted, you might consider some of these items for Christmas present or perhaps to adorn your own domicile.
