Browsing through the items up for auction in “The David Lynch Collection” is a fascinating yet somewhat invasive experience, as it features hundreds of items that once belonged to the late, great cinematic genius. The collection includes a wide range of items, such as books, espresso makers, furniture, cameras, filmmaking equipment, musical instruments, woodworking tools, framed artwork, and household items like mugs and dishes.

Even the most ordinary items in the collection have a certain cool factor to them, simply because they were once owned by David Lynch. However, as expected, the sale also includes some truly extraordinary items. Here are 10 of the most intriguing lots. If you’re a Lynch fan, you owe it to yourself to check out the entire collection and learn how to bid on the Julien’s Auctions site.

Mulholland Drive Prop Menus

Winkie’s, the iconic diner from Mulholland Drive, may not be as instantly recognizable as Twin Peaks’ Double R, but it’s still a sacred spot for Lynch fans. This is where the amnesiac “Rita” realizes she has a strange memory of someone named “Diane,” a pivotal moment in the film’s central mystery. The dumpster area behind Winkie’s is also the setting for one of the most startling reveal scenes in the movie, proving that even on a sunny Los Angeles street, nightmares can come to life.

This snakeskin camera is a unique symbol of individuality and personal freedom, much like the character in Wild at Heart would describe it. To own such a distinctive item, previously owned by Lynch, would be a remarkable experience.

Dune Production Office Vintage Telephone

As with many Lynch-related items, it’s futile to ask “why.” Instead, let’s focus on the facts: this vintage bakelite intercom telephone was used in Lynch’s Los Angeles office during the production of Dune. It features Dymo labels that read, “The David Lynch Hold The Phone Kit.” The conversations that must have taken place over this phone are unimaginable.

Imagine the discussions about Dune that took place over this very phone – it’s a tantalizing prospect for any fan of the film.
