This is perhaps my favorite win of the June 2010 Profiles in History Auction. It is certainly among the most sentimental. This is the only Klingon musical instrument in existence to my knowledge, and is versatile in that it may also be used as a weapon!! Don't go taunting your local Klingon polka group or you might just get an accordian to the temple.
This prop, while non-functional, is a georgeous piece of prop-making. It is solid, painted with incredible luster and detail, and the bellows really do suck air and blow it out. I am quite fortunate to have gotten this, and will definitely cherish its presence.
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
