Own The Original King Kong!

This is what special effects looked like in 1930 – a mechanical doll!
Laugh if you will, but King Kong is still one of the most recognizable movies of all time, and that little monkey right there is how the iconic Empire State Building scene came to life. This metal skeleton helped animated the big ape scaling the New York skyscraper.
And now for a few couple hundred thousand dollars, you can own this piece of movie history! Christie’s will be auctioning off this 22-inch armature (that’s what it is really called) in London on Nov. 24. The estimated value – $160,000-$240,000!!!
Wow!
