A Chiver’s uncle and his amazing collection of Indiana Jones memorabilia (22 HQ Photos)

: A few days ago I received an email from a Chiver named Robert who said that his uncle had an amazing collection of Indiana Jones props and collector’s items. I won’t lie, I had my doubts, however my love for everything Indiana Jones outweighed my skepticism. Turns out Robert’s uncle Gailen is the real deal. He has collected over $22,000 worth of Indy memorabilia. Gailen has a passion for the Indiana Jones films and has been collecting Indy props since ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ came out in 1981. He also made sure the props are either of the highest quality or in some case even made by the same men and or manufacturers as the props from the original movie sets. The bull whips alone were made by the same guy who made the whips from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

What I’d give to have even a handful of this memorabilia. Thanks again to Robert and Gailen for their stellar contribution to our site this morning.

I just want the book! I'd be a happy woman if I had my hands on Indi's father's book.

Great to see another collector… there are a few pieces in there that I think are bottles from the bar fight in Raiders… very cool!

Hi Bob,

This is amazing. One of the best collections of Indiana Jones items I think I have seen and I have seen many. I am the founder of a social media community for collectors (Movie memorabilia, Coins, Comic Books, Action figures etc anything really) and would really like to get in touch with Mr Gailen or his nephew if it's possible. Here is my email afirmin@sqrall.com I would really appreciate it. thanks.
