Get Ready to Bid on Bruce’s Eyes: Jaws Prop Hits Auction Block!

Fans of classic cinema, rejoice! The original animatronic eyes from the legendary film “Jaws” are set to take the auction stage as the movie celebrates its 50th anniversary. These creepy peepers, valued between $50,000 and $100,000, are still attached to their original rig and are just as unsettling as ever. Imagine having a piece of history that could stare into your soul every time you walk past it!

But how did these iconic eyes end up out of the water and onto the auction block? Created by special effects expert Robert A. Mattey, these eyes were gifted to a neighbor way back in 1980. After being hidden away for decades, they’re now ready for a new home—ideally one that can appreciate their haunting beauty. This auction is set for September 4 to 6 at Propstore’s Los Angeles event, and you can bet there’ll be plenty of shark fans ready to dive into a bidding frenzy!

Speaking of frenzy, just think about how giddy you’d be showing off this one-of-a-kind item! “Oh, these eyes? Just your average movie memorabilia,” you’d casually say, as your guests step back in horror. It begs the question, would you dare to have such a bold conversation starter in your living room?

As we gear up for the auction, it’s clear that Bruce’s legacy is far from over. These eyes are serving up a glimpse into Hollywood history—so let’s see if anyone’s ready to go for that big catch of the day!
