History up for auction
A New York City auction house is set to put a pop culture collection under the hammer.
The items, which will go on sale in Las Vegas in mid March, were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese.
It is understood he now wants to share his treasure trove with the world.
The collection covers 850 objects from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics.
Among the memorabilia up for grabs is the Indiana Jones chalice, the Christopher Reeve's 'Superman' suit, and the hat made famous by the Wicked Witch of the West in 'The Wizard of Oz.'
Other key items include the gun that killed Lee Harvey Oswald and a rocking chair used by former US President John F Kennedy.
