Go ahead, make a bid.
Clint Eastwood’s sunglasses from “Dirty Harry” are just one of the 130 pieces of Hollywood memorabilia being sold at Studio Auction’s Cinematic Auction beginning online on Jan. 17.
“There’s even a letter from Clint Eastwood that comes with it, confirming that they’re authentic. He had gifted them to a crew member,” Brad Teplitsky, co-founder of the auction house, told The Post of the specs, which will open at $10,000.
Other sets of iconic shades, worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator” 1 and 2, are also on the block, starting at $10,000 for both pairs.
Horror relics are hot, with bidding for Anthony Hopkins’ mask from “The Silence of the Lambs” starting at $60,000, and Jack Nicholson’s axe from “The Shining” opening at $50,000.
A gremlin from “Gremlins 2” ($10,000) and a Chucky doll from the TV series ($15,000) are also up for grabs.
Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker costume worn on “The Muppet Show” will be on the block, along with a rare $50,000 R2D2 from the TV series “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Season 1.
“This is only the second time an R2D2 has come out to an auction house and that’s because, in both instances, they were held privately,” Teplitsky said.
Six of Harry Potter’s wands — used in “Fantastic Beasts,” “Prisoner of Azkaban,” “Goblet of Fire” and “Deathly Hallows” — range from $2,000 to $10,000 in opening bids.
Other items include Yoda’s walking stick from “The Empire Strikes Back,” with an opening bid of $65,000; Robert Downey Jr.’s helmet from “Iron Man,” with an opening bid of $50,000; and Michael J. Fox’s hoverboard from “Back to the Future,” with an opening bid of $50,000.
The live portion of the auction takes place on Feb. 17 in Los Angeles.
In May, the auction house will sell off items from “The Godfather,” including Marlon Brando’s tuxedo.
“Someone may want that for their man cave, even though they’re not generally into collecting because it’s such an iconic item,” Teplitsky said.
