A treasure trove of artifacts from the 1971 musical "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" are up for bid, from scripts, props and costumes to correspondence and contact sheets. The original "Everlasting Gobstopper," used on screen by actress Julie Dawn Cole, is one of only two Gobstoppers known to exist. Cole, who played Veruca Salt, was allowed to keep hers. Now it can be yours!

Estimated price: $20,000-$30,000.

Christopher Reeve's complete superhero costume from "Superman" (1978): A long-sleeve leotard of blue and red stretch jersey, with trademark "S" insignia, a pair of matching blue stretch nylon tights, a yellow-painted leather belt; a cape of scarlet wool with padded shoulders; and a pair of knee-length red leather boots (waterproof!). Alas, while Superman can withstand anything short of Kryptonite, his cape has some minor moth holes at the lower edge ($60,000-$80,000).

The drop ship miniature from James Cameron's 1986 thriller "Aliens" does display some "battle scars" from filming (other, less detailed models were destroyed during filming). This model was modified to allow its missile pods to "splay open. Cockpit interior is fully detailed and painted, including pilot figures and control modules. 81 in. long x 47 in. wide ($80,000-$120,000).

When one thinks of the Dynamic Duo, one usually doesn't think of refreshing desserts, as suggested by this 1966 BATMAN All-Star "Slam Bang Vanilla Banana Marshmallow in Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream" box, manufactured by Cabbarus Creamery Co. of Concord, N.C. The auction notes say this is "unopened" - which suggests the owner's freezer was working very well all these years ($200-$300).

One of a set of four color and black-and-white pictures of Marilyn Monroe from "The Seven Year Itch," here featuring co-star Tom Ewell, from the Silver Screen archive ($1,000-$2,000).

Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole) got her hands on this Golden Ticket in "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971). Obtaining this ticket may cost a lucky bidder $20,000-$30,000 - and no, no chocolate bars come with it.
