The Treasure Chest from the movie "Cutthroat Island"
| Recently Hollywood CPR (Hollywood Cinema
Productions Resources), a non-profit organization, had a charity auction of
props and costumes from the movie "Cutthroat Island" which starred
Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. We thought it would be neat to have the star
prop from the movie become our "mascot". This time we bought from
Hollywood by winning the bid for the chest. |

The chest is a magnificent replica of an old,
weathered pirate chest. It has a heavy wooden base with a thin metal skin. We
found many small pieces of cut glass inside the chest. These are shaped and
colored to resemble diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other gems, part of the
treasure in the movie. The chest is now on display
in our showroom in the Trunk Barn.
Hollywood CPR is a youth training program that
provides entertainment industry related educational programs to disadvantaged
young adults between the ages of 15 and 21. Check out some of their
auctions where you can find some really interesting and authentic movie props at
reasonable prices. Purchases are tax deductible.
