Description

Auto-Doc prop from Alien. (20th Century Fox, 1977) From one of the most iconic scenes in the sci-fi/horror genre comes this rare prop "Auto-Doc" medical tool. Whilst investigating the derelict spaceship "Kane," John Hurt, discovers large alien eggs and is attacked by something from one of them. Returning to the Nostromo Medical Bay "Ash," portrayed by Ian Holm, cuts open the Space Helmet of Kane with the Auto-Doc which reveals the Facehugger attached to his face.  The metal tool features a circular cutting blade to the front, AUTO DOC lettering to one side, behind the blade casing, and an integral gas power feed line to the back (functionality unchecked). This is believed to be the first such example of this prop to have ever been offered.
