‘Jaws’
Eye-Conic Prop Surfacing On Auction Block!!!
Published
Fifty years later and “Jaws” still has a ferocious bite — with Bruce the shark’s bug-eyed stare haunting us all the way to the auction block … and you’re gonna need a great white green stack of cash to reel it in!
The OG animatronic eyes from one of the three full-size sharks will soon be up for grabs — photo-matched to BTS shots, still on the original armature, and just as creepily lifeless as they were back in 1975.
Special effects legend Robert A. Mattey gifted the eyes to a neighbor in 1980 — after they’d literally watched Bruce come to life in his garage. Decades later, the orbs are still holding up like they were built yesterday!
Valued at $50K–$100K, the eyes hit the block at Propstore’s L.A. Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, running September 4–6.
Bidders, keep your eyes on the prize — this one’s gonna be a feeding frenzy!
