The axe wielded by Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror The Shining has sold for £170,000 at an auction in London.
The prop sold for four times its original estimated selling price at the Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, which was held at the BFI Imax in Waterloo.
Asides from a few scratches from long days of shooting the infamous door-breaking scene, the axe is reportedly in excellent condition.
Known as a fire axe, the prop is approximately three feet in length, with a wooden handle and foot-long blade that is an inch thick.
