Newest addition
Screen used knife from KOTCS!
I made an offer and the seller accepted. I couldn’t pass this up. My first and only Indiana Jones screen used prop and is now a prized possession.
It’s certified and also has Harrison’s signature on the certification and authenticated by JSA.
Probably going to put this in a clear case soon.

Found the perfect case on Amazon for it. Had to move some stuff around but I like it. Hard to photograph though. I had to turn out the lights in shoot in the darkView attachment 1747998View attachment 1747999View attachment 1748000

Honestly you have already won this thread and I feel like there's very little anyone can do to come even remotely close to your display. It could easily belong in a theme park attraction with the proper lighting to balance out the color palette. All you need is Harrison Ford sitting there with some student asking for her graded paper.
Jokes aside though, where did you find all the vintage paper props? What's been your process to collect all that? I love that stuff, I consider it part of what can make or break an Indiana Jones display and it's pretty essential for the overall feeling, but not always the most straightforward thing to find.
Agreed - you've won. Superb effort, especially the overall look and feel. Would also be interested in learning more on your approach, especially why you chose the time period of early WWII as present day, which is fascinating. The paper props require so much research and can be difficult to find and get right. Wow, well done!

Thanks alot guys! I chose 1941 as it gave me some leeway as far as not having to have everything in the display exactly as it was in a screen shot of the movie. I also needed enough of a time period to explain how Indie would have a chance to recover the items. 3 years after last crusade would have given enough time for indie to track down who Belloq sold the idol to and recover it and after the nazi's had their meltdown (literally) at the end of ROTLA it would not be unreasonable to think Indie or his friend Sallah would be able to return and recover a lot of the items the Germans left behind. Some things are a bit of a stretch like Marion's picture. By 1941, indie and marion were split up and his son was already a couple years old but I figure that she was always his true love and maybe he would still have a picture of her. She was so important to the story i couldn't leave her out. Actually the paper items were the most fun part. Some like the newspaper I already had. For many years I collected newspapers and documents from all over the world marking historic events. I doubt there is a single significant historical event that I don't have a newspaper from the place it occurred and as close to the time it actually occurred as possible. A lot of it is just ebay, some perusing of antique stores, etc. It is probably the most interesting part just searching and then finding something really amazing that no else has realized how important it is.
Amazing job dude. Its simply in a league of its own.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can the Hand Ejector third model make a good stand in for the HE2? I’m looking at a deactivated HE3 to start a small Indy display.

Thats a beautiful shelf, and an even better dial.
Changed it completely up. Went with taller glass cabinets and put everything inside. My room has been driving me nuts trying to clean and organize it the way I'm happy with it. I took out the smaller Rustada Cabinets and used a taller Milsbo cabinet. I like it much better. Still a work in progress but a step in the right direction.

I also finally displayed my newer toys in a Detlof. Originals still displayed on the open shelves but I did get the new unreleased retros and case them up to match the look of the original 80s versions
The map room Indy is actually pieced together and that’s the Hasbro Ark. I thought it would be fun to keep the adventure series counterparts with Sideshow pieces.
