Vendor #6  complete Planet of the Apes Male CHIMPANZEE Wardrobe

Original screen worn 1968 Planet of the Apes male chimpanzee costume.
This outfit is in great shape and comes complete with shoes, pants, and tunic.
 The Western Costume label for the tunic has an actor's name in it, but it is hard to read. It seems to read "Elliott" or "E.L.Scott".
 The tunic has all of the original "glyphs" except for the small brown "half-moon C" above the chest emblem.
 We have replaced the missing piece with a replica cast from original molds. 
 The shoes are in the best condition we've ever seen, especially the soles.Western Costumes must have taped over the soles to protect the surfaces from wear. The tape is still intact and the soles in in perfect almost unused condition.
If you have been looking for an original Planet of the Apes costume ensemble, this is the one for you!!!

Vendor #5  complete BENEATH GORILLA SOLDIER WARDROBE  SOLD!!!

Quite posibly the finest example of a gorilla costume we have ever seen. And well-worth the $10,000 asking price.
This outfit came from a private collection of the late Terry Smith, a well known Hollywood make-up artist (The Last Starfighter).  Terry's father was Hal Smith, Otis the drunk from the Andy Griffith Show.

Anyway, the leather on this outfit is IMMACULATE.  No wear, aging, or leather rot at all!  The boots and Gloves are hands-down THE BEST WE HAVE EVER SEEN! The dates on the newspapers stuffed in the boots are 1976, so Terry had them quite a while.
The seller is forwarding more fotos (bandolier and more boot images) to us to post soon, so check back for an update.
