George Reeves' Superman costume from The Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) is expected to make $100,000-150,000.
It's among the headline lots of the second day of Profiles in History's Hollywood Auction on September 30.
 The costume dates to 1953-1954, when the show was still filmed in black and white |
The lot includes the flying harness used to support Reeves in the TV show's iconic flight scenes. It was designed by one of the show's special effects creators after the wires snapped during filming - causing Reeves to fall around 15 feet.
Profiles in History comments: "The sequences of Superman in flight were the highlights of The Adventures of Superman legacy, and this hero [screen used] Superman costume with special effects flying rig represents the finest, most complete and historic costume in the history of television to be sold at auction."
Other pieces offered include the Triumph Trophy TR5 motorbike that belonged to The Fonz (Henry Winkler) in the hit TV show Happy Days.
The auction house explains: "This '49 Triumph is one of three Triumph motorcycles "The Fonz" used during the show's 10-year run on ABC.
"According to Bud Ekins, all three Triumphs used on the show were 500cc Trophy models of various years - two of which went missing/stolen, or raced to the ground and sold for parts.
"Eventually, when the show ended, Ekins sold the third and only remaining 'Fonzie' Triumph to friend and motorcycle collector Mean Marshall Ehlers where it resided since 1990."
