Wayne died 32 years ago in 1979

Highlights include an iconic eye patch Wayne wore as Rooster Cogburn in True Grit, a Western saddle and stand that belonged to Wayne, his last California Driver's license, and Wayne's 1969 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for True Grit.

These pieces will sell along with a stunning variety of screen worn costumes, cowboy hats, annotated scripts and personal effects from his 170-film career.

Wayne's classics included Sands of Iwo Jima and The Green Berets, represented by over 50 movie scripts in the auction, many containing Wayne's handwritten notes.
