The Peter Benchley Collection: Jaws, A Life of Writing, A Legacy of Ocean Conservation.
Lot 153:
Description
Universal Studios plastic Jaws souvenir drink cup. The cylindrical body features a wraparound blue and gray graphic panel depicting a shark’s dorsal fin amid splashing water. The piece is fitted with a two-part sculpted plastic lid in the form of a shark’s head. 12 1/4" H x 3 1/4" diameter.
A souvenir cup from the Universal Studios theme park, issued early in the life of the Jaws attraction. A more recent addition, not from Peter’s collection.
From the personal collection of Peter Benchley (American, 1940–2006), acclaimed author of Jaws, accomplished diver, and prominent advocate for ocean and shark conservation.
Proceeds from the Peter Benchley Collection will benefit five ocean conservation organizations: Peter Benchley Ocean Awards, WildAid, Beneath the Waves, Blue Frontier and Environmental Defense Fund.
Condition report:
The item exhibits significant age-related yellowing and brown staining across the shark head lid. Surface scuffing and accumulated grime are present on the white plastic body, particularly concentrated around the base rim. The printed graphics remain largely intact with minor surface wear.
