Description

Back to the Future (Universal, 1985), Christopher Lloyd "Dr. Emmett Brown" Headset. Original headset constructed with white and black grosgrain ribbon over a whalebone headband, crudely attached with white thread tape to plastic tubing with wire armature and metal prop mic tip. Measures 5" x 6" x 1". The legacy of the inventive Doc Brown was only possible through Christopher Lloyd's eccentric mannerisms and light-hearted spin on the "mad scientist" archetype. Headset prop can be seen worn by Doc in the finale of the movie, as he pleads with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) to join him in the future to save his children. Exhibits production age and handling with slight fraying to ribbons and dirt stains across white tape and inside plastic tubing. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
