(TCF/DreamWorks, 2000) Gold-painted foam rubber pocket watch, used in the action sequences of the film. Signed by Hanks in black ink, and housed in a custom shadow-box frame for display. A great piece, and one of the central props from the film which tied Hanks and his fiancée, Kelly Frears (played by Helen Hunt), together across the Pacific. It was this watch – a gift from his girlfriend just before he boarded the fateful FedEx flight – that helped Hanks’ character keep hope alive during the solitary years he spent stranded on the remote island.

Estimate $1,000 – $2,000
