A costume worn by Will Ferrell in the beloved holiday film *Elf* has fetched over £239,000 at auction.
Propstore, a Hertfordshire-based auction house, had estimated the iconic costume from the 2003 Christmas comedy to sell for up to £200,000.
The memorable green and yellow outfit was donned by Ferrell’s character, Buddy the Elf, during a scene where he gleefully presses all the buttons in a New York City elevator.
In the same auction on Friday, a fedora used in *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*, filmed at Elstree Studios, achieved a price of £327,600.
According to Propstore, the *Elf* costume originated directly from the collection of the film’s producer, Jon Berg.
A spokesperson for Propstore previously noted: “With only a limited number of costumes believed to have been created for the film, this remarkable history renders it an exceptionally coveted piece of Christmas cinematic history.”
The *Indiana Jones* fedora attracted a total of 21 bids.
The original blaster prop wielded by Boba Fett in *Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back* is anticipated to garner between £350,000 and £700,000 on Saturday.
