As Lost heads toward its finale, cast-offs from the prop department are bobbing to the surface with news that keepsakes from the ABC series will be auctioned to fans hankering to hold on to a little piece of the show.
Memorabilia to be auctioned by Profiles in History this summer includes a fake passport used by Michael Emerson’s Ben character, pictured above, along with more than 200 other items ranging from slingshots and candy bars to Locke’s wheelchair, Claire’s message in a bottle and Danielle Rousseau’s music box.
While the show’s final day is known — Lost wraps May 23 with a 2 1/2-hour special — the auction date has not yet been set. Eyeball a few of the familiar pieces slated to go to the highest bidder below.
