Andy Warhol Photography Archive

He's best known for his screenprint paintings, but Andy Warhol was nearly as prolific a photographer as he was a painter. The Andy Warhol Photography Archive lets you peruse some 130,000 exposures taken by the pop artist between 1976 and 1987. Among the gems found in the 3,600 contact sheets include street scenes from New York, shots from the hot spots of the time, and portraits of celebrities and artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Truman Capote, Debbie Harry, Jackie Kennedy, and Keith Haring.

1932 'The Mummy' Movie Poster

Inspired by the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb just a decade earlier, 1932's The Mummy starring Boris Karloff was one of a trifecta of early horror releases for Universal that set the tone for the genre. All are considered classics. This rare original-copy poster for the film is also considered a classic, and one of the most prized film posters in existence. A stone lithograph designed by Universal advertising art director Karoly Grosz, it's one of one three examples known to exist and is an outstanding early example of the visual language that still dominates movie poster design today. It already set the record for most valuable film poster once, in 1997. With an astronomical estimate and a starting bid to match, it will no doubt do so again when the hammer drops on October 31.

Audi Patrone Police Drone

Thankfully still just a concept, the Audi Patrone Police Drone offers a look at the potential future of law enforcement. It has an aerodynamic body meant to be more stable than competing drones, with a mix of propeller and jet propulsion moving it through the air. An onboard camera would allow officers to control it via VR, allowing them to maintain a presence in communities without needing boots on the ground.

Hunter S. Thompson Letter Archive

Made up of 182 letters, including handwritten, typed, signed, telegrams, and postcards, as well as three drawings, this Hunter S. Thompson Letter Archive is a treasure trove of writing from the storied author. The vast majority of the letters, dated from 1955 to 1974, are from Thompson to childhood Paul Semonin, and show the evolution of his signature Gonzo style, as well as recounting his time in Big Sur, the writing of The Rum Diary, and his time with — and beating by — the Hell's Angels that inspired the book of the same name. Of historical importance is a famous letter written the day of JFK's assassination, which was only partially published, along with 24 of the other letters, in The Proud Highway: The Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman 1955-1967. As a whole, the lot represents a one-of-a-kind look into the inner workings of one of the last century's greatest authors.

Revenge of the Jedi Theatrical Poster

Fun fact: Return of the Jedi wasn't Episode VI's original title. George Lucas only changed the first word of the then trilogy-ending installment after deciding that a true Jedi wouldn't seek revenge. This happened fairly late in production, however — late enough that a small number of posters were created with Revenge of the Jedi as the title. This is one of those rare specimens. Measuring 41" x 27", this tri-folded, linen-backed poster is perfect for framing and would make a great addition to the collection of any Star Wars fan.

Carry On Cocktail Kit

Booze is readily available on most flights. But the ingredients needed to make anything more complex than a Jack and Coke are nowhere to be found. Unless, of course, you're packing a Carry On Cocktail Kit. Available in six styles — Old Fashioned, Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule, Champagne Cocktail, Bloody Mary, and Hot Toddy — these self-contained, TSA-friendly tins includes everything you need to make a couple real drinks at 30,000 feet.

Rolls-Royce Engine Maintenance Robots

Jet engine maintenance can be expensive and slow, thanks to their closed nature and the need to take the engine off the aircraft completely to perform some tasks. Rolls-Royce's Engine Maintenance Robots envision a future where that's not necessary. Developed in collaboration with the University of Nottingham and Harvard University, they include a set of collaborative Swarm robots that measure just 10mm in diameter and go inside the engine, sending live video back to the mechanics and speeding up inspections. They get inside the engine via snake-like Flare robots that travel through the engine like an endoscope and are helped by permanent periscope robots named Inspect. Finally, a remote boreblending robot would allow a maintenance team to install it inside the engine, then hand over operation to remote specialists who could then perform more complex maintenance tasks.

Ferris Bueller's Bedroom

The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude. Of all the reasons for our teenage selves to envy Mr. Bueller, perhaps the biggest was his bedroom. This website sorts through his jam-packed assortment of posters, gadgets, and objects one shot at a time in the hopes of identifying them all. From the easily-identifiable UK flag and Gretsch White Falcon guitar to the mysterious images above his door, it's a treasure trove of John Hughes-curated nostalgia.

CeramicSpeed Driven Chainless Drivetrain Concept

Traditional chain and derailleur systems have been around for nearly 100 years. In the name of efficiency, the CeramicSpeed Driven scraps them completely. Developed in partnership with the University of Colorado's Mechanical Engineering department, this new system uses 21 CeramicSpeed bearings to transfer torque from the front ring through the drive shaft and onto the 13-speed rear cog. As a result, it eliminates all eight points of friction within a traditional chain drivetrain, reducing friction by 49% and letting the power from every pedal transfer to the road more effectively.

Soviet Spy Cameras

Digital technology has rendered film (mostly) obsolete, and modern surveillance has done the same to old-fashioned espionage. Thus this auction of Soviet-era spy cameras is a treasure trove of outdated-yet-timeless hardware. Ranging in age from 75 to 30 years old, most of the cameras still work, with examples including a gum pack-sized Minox Riga, a camera hidden in a dinner jacket, a camera disguised as an umbrella, and even a camera hidden inside... a camera. The auction will be held on July 12 and run by Aston's of England.

Below The Surface

When the River Amstel was drained for the building of a metro line, archaeologists got an exceedingly rare look into Amsterdam's past via the objects they found in the riverbed. Below The Surface is an online catalog of those objects. Varying greatly in size, age, and condition, these 11,279 items tell the story of this centuries-old port city through the lens of things either thrown away or lost to time. And while these objects, taken from Damrak and Rokin, seem to go on forever, their photographs represent just a sliver of the 700,000 total items pulled from the mud.

Boeing Hypersonic Vehicle Concept

Boeing has been researching hypersonic vehicles for six decades now. Although it's not ready to take off just yet, this Hypersonic Vehicle Concept provides a glimpse of a future that could arrive in as little as 20 years. Capable of traveling Mach 5, it would rely on a turbofan engine at takeoff, switching to a ramjet at altitudes as high as 95,000 feet. As a result, it could make the trip from New York to Tokyo in around two hours, making our already small world that much smaller.

D-Mask Smart Diving Mask Concept

Most diving gear looks much as it did decades ago. The D-Mask is a forward-thinking look at a more elegant solution. Created by Chinese designer DDG, the full-face design secures below the mouth and above the forehead, providing a 180-degree field of view. There's a transparent screen that lets you overlay information like depth, water temperature, and weather, and an attachment point on the side is compatible with both snorkels and oxygen tanks. Finally, a light and camera are built in, and a bone conduction headset lets you hear communication from the surface or listen to music as you explore.

Plum Wine Preserver

With the ability to identify, chill, pour, and preserve, the Plum wine preserver combines all wine gadgets into one sleek package. Select your bottle and insert it into the appliance. Inside, a camera scans the label to identify the wine and automatically begin cooling to the ideal temperature. Whether it's a cork or metal screw cap, a double-cored needle punctures the top. As wine is released, argon gas fills the bottle to help prevent oxidation. A single canister can preserve up to 150 bottles, keeping each one fresh for up to 90 days so when you're ready, a perfect glass of wine is always waiting to be poured — a valuable feature during the holidays.

New US Dollar Concept

There are plenty of reasons for Americans to be envious of other countries. One of the easiest to remedy is our bland currency. The work of designer Andrey Avgust, this concept takes the US Dollar in a bold new direction. It tackles every bill in circulation — 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 — and replaces it with one made from multiple layers of transparent polymer. High-resolution graphics on the front and back play off one another thanks to the translucent nature of the material, and a unique PGP encrypted QR code for every bill makes counterfeiting nearly impossible.

The Last Leica M3 Camera

Introduced in 1954, over 225,000 Leica M3s were built over the following 12 years. This one just happens to be the last. Serial no. 1164865 was the final M3 to come off the line when production ended in 1966. Unlike virtually all of its predecessors, it was never used. It arrives in its original box, with the special order letter from the original owner, the original paper receipt from Leica London, and a letter from Leica stating that it is indeed the last M3 manufactured, making it nearly as desirable as the first M3, which sold at auction in 2012 for $1.15 Million.

Steve McQueen's Rolex Submariner Watch

It's not the first McQueen-owned timepiece to come up for auction, but it might be the best. This reference 5513 Rolex Submariner dates to 1964 and was gifted to McQueen's longtime friend and stuntman Loren Janes by McQueen. The watch was thought to be destroyed in a 2016 fire that engulfed Janes' home, but was recovered from the rubble and restored by Rolex U.S.A. Still bearing the inscription "TO LOREN, THE BEST DAMN STUNTMAN IN THE WORLD. STEVE", it will be auctioned off in New York on October 25 and arrives with an additional, period correct ref. 5513 dial and hand set, a letter signed by Loren Janes attesting to its provenance, a second letter from Rolex, and a copy of Steve McQueen: A Life in Pictures, which includes photos of the watch on the wrist of the legendary actor.

Screen-shot Death Star Section

It's easy to forget now, but the original Star Wars was shot using manual effects, not CG. Sadly, no one knew the importance of what they were doing at the time, and so few props remain. This section of the Death Star is one of them. Rescued from the trash heap by an ex-ILM employee, it measures 23.75" X 11.75" and exhibits the fine detail that made the film's final act so believable. It's been authenticated by two independent ILM employees and comes in a custom-made display case with a black wood base, removable acrylic top, and LED lighting.

GoldenEye 1965 Aston Martin DB5

No car is more synonymous with James Bond than the DB5, having appeared in seven 007 films. This particular 1965 model had a starring role in the opening scene of GoldenEye. At one point the most valuable piece of Bond memorabilia ever sold, we'd highly recommend against pitting it versus a Ferrari F355 in the hills above Monaco, but the center console does still work as a serving area for drinks on more relaxed outings.

Bosch Anti-Slip Motorcycle Jet Thrusters

Whether you're carrying too much speed or hit some loose gravel or leaves, there's little that can save your bike from a slide when it starts to go down. Bosch Anti-Slip Motorcycle Jet Thrusters aim to fix that. Still in the concept phase, the system would detect sideways wheel slip, then activate an airbag-like gas accumulator, vented through a nozzle, which acts like an invisible hand to right the motorcycle. Given the added complexity and single-use nature of the system, it's likely to appear first on high-end bikes, but no production launch is planned at this time.

UberAir

Forget ridesharing — flightsharing might be the future. UberAIR is the company's initiative to move beyond the road and into the sky. The service, scheduled for launch in Dallas and Los Angeles by 2023 with the first flights occurring years before, will use vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft to carry passengers on-demand from place to place. Not meant to replace traditional airlines, the system is instead being designed for distances of 50-100 miles, just long enough to make a car ride unsavory but short enough to make conventional air travel not worth the hassle and expense. While autonomous flight is the obvious goal, human pilots will be relied upon when the service first comes online, and the company is currently seeking an International city to serve as its third trial partner.

Kurt Cobain's Smashed Aria Pro II Guitar

In 1990, no one knew what Nirvana would become. Only 1,500 people were at the Motorsports International Garage Show in Seattle on September 22 to see Kurt Cobain smash this Aria Pro II Cardinal Series Guitar. One of Cobain's favorites on that summer's tour, it was procured by one of the night's security workers, who gave Cobain the pickups (at his request), leaving the natural wood finish husk you see here. "Nirvana" is carved into what remains of the neck, and the former instrument is accompanied by a copy of Nirvana Live 1994, which has a photo of Kurt preparing to destroy the guitar on the cover.

Bob Dylan's 1965 Fender Telecaster

Used to record iconic albums like Blonde on Blonde, The Basement Tapes, and Music from Big Pink, this 1965 Fender Telecaster's history runs deep. Bob Dylan used it to "go electric" while on tour in 1966 and legends like Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Levon Helm all took turns before the Fender passed into the hands of The Band's Robbie Robertson. The instrument was a vital part of Robertson's guitar stable, and he stripped its original black finish to expose its bare wood origins. It arrives at auction with many original components intact or upgraded over time as a part of the Music Icons event at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York.
