Over the course of a celebrated Hollywood career that spanned five decades and witnessed two Academy Award nominations for Best Effect, Visual Effects and two Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, the iconic model maker and renowned TOS expert assembled what is without question the finest private collection of Star Trek Original Series memorabilia ever amassed. If a major auction house conducts an entertainment memorabilia auction that offers just a single authentic TOS prop for sale, that is a rare and noteworthy occasion. The Jein Collection auction features an astounding 58 lots of Original Series props, several that contain multiple items grouped together, and is highlighted by the most iconic TOS pieces in existence such as the Hero Laser Pistol from The Cage, the Hero Type-2 Phaser Pistol, a Wah Chang built Hero Tricorder along with additional TOS tricorder, stunt phaser and communicator hand props. With respect to Wardrobe, amongst the 48 lots of Original Series costumes on the auction block, the Jein Collection features no less than 6 William Shatner screen worn Starfleet tunics (including 2 Wraparound tunics, 1 Formal Dress Tunic and 1 "Mirror, Mirror" Alternate Universe Tunic); 3 Leonard Nimoy screen worn Starfleet tunics; and 4 DeForest Kelley screen worn Starfleet tunics (including 1 Surgical Tunic). And Mr. Jein, who famously created the 4 foot filming miniature of the Enterprise-D starship for the Star Trek: TNG television series, also assembled a stunning collection of post-TOS props and costumes that encompasses the majority of the franchise's feature films and series right up to Star Trek: Discovery.
