Jaws Props Sell for $630K: Rod & Harpoon Gun Up for Grabs

The iconic fishing rod and harpoon gun wielded by Robert Shaw's character Quint in the thrilling Jaws movie have emerged for sale with an astonishing combined price of $630,000. These artifacts played a crucial role in the intense on-screen pursuit of the great white shark.

Quint utilized the Fenwick fishing rod during the initial chumming and spotting of the shark, famously preceding the line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." He later employed the W.W. Greener harpoon rifle, complete with its case, to attach marker barrels to the formidable creature.

Propstore of Los Angeles is auctioning the harpoon gun, valued at $375,000, and the fishing rod, estimated at $110,000. These items represent a rare opportunity for collectors, with their significance amplified by the film's 50th anniversary and the scarcity of verified Jaws memorabilia.
