    Get ready to make this auction house an offer it can’t refuse.

    The complete formal tuxedo worn by Marlon Brando in 1972’s The Godfather is hitting the block later this year. The outfit has never before been to auction, and it’s expected to hammer down for more than $200,000 during Studio Auctions’s “From Bombshells to Blasters: An Auction You Can’t Refuse.”

    “We are thrilled about the exceptional collection we’ve curated for this upcoming auction,” Brad Teplitsky, a cofounder of Studio Auctions, said in a statement. “Films like The Godfather hold a timeless allure, and we’re excited to offer our audience the chance to own a piece of cinematic history. We look forward to announcing additional showstopping items as we approach the live auction.”

    The sale is taking place over two weekends this fall, from September 20 to 22 and October 25 to 27. Brando’s tux from his role as Vito Corleone, which he wears in the opening wedding scenes of the Oscar-winning film, is clearly one of the highlights. Fans of the actor will also have the chance to bid on Brando’s rolodex, which contains the names and phone numbers of Hollywood’s most notable celebs (estimated at more than $40,000).

    Studio Auctions’s sale also includes an impressive mix of Hollywood memorabilia both historic and more recent. The hero wand used by Billie Burke in her role as Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz is expected to achieve some $100,000. Meanwhile, the Iron Man Mark 46 TA hero suit torso worn by Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War could fetch more than $200,000.

    Elsewhere, several Star Wars blasters are coming up for sale, including a Han Solo version from 2015’s The Force Awakens . And fans of the sci-fi franchise will have the chance to own original artwork from the films, thanks to the collection of the Oscar-winning production designer Rick Carter. The pieces on offer also come from many of Steven Spielberg’s movies, including Jurassic Park .

    “We are honored to have been chosen by Mr. Carter to be the auction house to handle his collection,” Teplitsky said.

    Perhaps best of all, none of these items has come to auction before, meaning it’s the first time you’re able to publicly bid on the pieces of Hollywood history. An opportunity you can’t refuse, indeed.
