Pacino’s Tony Award, Golden Globe go on auction

NEW YORK

If you have enough money, you might soon be able to say hello to two of Al Pacino’s former little friends.

The Goldin Auctions company is offering a treasure chest of celebrity items online this winter, including Frank Sinatra’s sailor’s costume from the 1945 film “Anchors Aweigh,” a Les Paul guitar owned by both Joe Walsh and Jimmy Page and a Tony Award and a Golden Globe won by Pacino. Ken Goldin, owner of the West Berlin, N.J., auction house, said this week that two awards by the same actor rarely — if ever — become available together.

“To use a sports metaphor, you’re not going to get Michael Jordan’s championship ring. You’re not going to get Michael Jordan’s most-valuable-player award,” he said. “He’s never going to let them go.” The minimum bid on the Tony is $10,000, and the Golden Globe is $25,000.
