Rare ‘Jaws‘ Props to Be Auctioned

Jaws fans should get ready to circle as a forthcoming auction is set to feature a pair of rare finds timed to the recent 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s classic thriller.

In March 2026, Propstore’s Spring Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction will include the screen- and photo-matched W.W. Greener Harpoon Rifle Mark II, along with matching case and custom effects-made shark dart, used by Quint, as played by the late Robert Shaw. The auction will also feature Quint’s screen- and photo-matched Fenwick 130-pound fishing rod and production-used Penn Senator 16/0 reel.

The Greener harpoon launcher was the weapon of choice for Quint and Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) when their focus on the shark turned serious, and its case is also featured in the film. The item has a presale value estimate ranging from $250,000 to $500,000. Additionally, the Fenwick rod that is used aboard the Orca early in the movie to help establish the creature’s massive size is estimated to sell for upwards of $150,000.

Revered as the quintessential summer blockbuster, jaws hit theaters June 20, 1975, and was a culture-defining smash that became the highest-grossing feature of all time. It earned four Oscar nominations, including best picture, and won three trophies.Hero-level props from the movie’s shoot rarely become available to the public.
