According to a BBC report, fans of the original Star Trek television series will soon be able to bid on the original molds for Mr. Spock's Vulcan ears. The mold and four pairs of the rubber ears as worn by Leonard Nimoy in the original Star Trek, will be auctioned at Christie's auction house in Los Angeles this Nov. 15. Other TV memorabilia will also be auctioned too.

According the report estimates, the mold is expected to climb up to $20,000 and two pairs of ears are expected to sell up to $2,000. Christie's will also auction off a plaster life mask of William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk, which was used for various makeup effects. The mask, which freezes Shatner's visage as it was during the show, is listed at an estimated sale price of $6,000. Oh dear god.

Original scripts from the first two Star Trek movies will also be at the auction, as well as signed posters and other makeup prosthetics. The Star Trek lots are being offered by the heirs of Fred Phillips, the sole makeup artist on the original series and the first two movies.
