This is a package you won't want to miss that is only offered by Scripophily.com. This package consists of 10 different notes of prop money that was specially made for movies and used by major studios for Motion Picture and TV Productions. These notes were acquired from Ellis Props & Graphics who was the oldest (since 1908) and largest prop supply house in Hollywood until closing their doors in 2000.

If you have ever been involved in Movie or TV Production in Los Angeles, it is almost certain you've had dealings with Ellis Props and Graphics Partners, or Ellis Mercantile as most old-timers call it. Ellis Mercantile was established as a pawn shop in 1908. When a customer needing a glass eye for one of the earliest movie productions suggested that he rent the glass eye instead of purchasing it, the rental business was started. Over the years, Ellis props have been used on countless famous movies and well-known TV productions. Ben-Hur, Cleopatra, Spartacus, The Titanic, Get Smart and Wild Wild West to name but a few. Ellis, owned by the Tapestry Group, last year closed shop, due to failing profits combined with runaway production concerns. Over five days in early June 2000, nearly a century worth of movie props were auctioned off at the Universal Hilton and via the Internet. Everything from Ellis' 40,000 square feet of props went on the block. Attendees could bid on antiques and collectibles such as an operating Gatling gun from circa 1872, used in Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales, life preservers from The Titanic, the baby carriage from De Palma's The Untouchables, light sabers from Star Wars, the umbrella phone from Get Smart, as well as movie used real prop money which we acquired. We are offering a 10 piece package including notes form El Estado De Sonora, Twenty Dollars States of America that says "Made by Studios for Motion Picture Use Only", $100 Bill that says Motion Picture Use Only, Five Dollar Demand Note with an image of Abe Lincoln, 50 Dollar Phoney Mazuma Note with an imager of a Man and it says Can't Pass Me Ellis Mercantile Company Hollywood 28, California, 20 Peso Banco De Sonora Note, 5 Dollar State of America Note that says "Made by Studios for Motion Picture Use Only", 5 Peso El Banco Del Estado De Chichuahua Note, and more. It's amazing how Hollywood can make this money look so real on the big screen. This is a very unique package that combines old paper money with Hollywood. You'll want to add this to your collection of give it as a gift to someone special. We will include a copy of the Certificate of Authenticity from Ellis Props and Graphics with every package.
