Previously we have reported on Happy Days star Henry Winkler auctioning off memoirs from the show. There are probably a handful of Happy Days who walked away from the Henry-Winkler themed auction. Others just set the bidding game on fire.
TMZ reports that entire Fonzie collection was housed by Bonhams. The auction house showcased all the goods that anybody who’s watched the show could wish for. They put it up for sale this Wednesday.
Eventually the spoils went to the highest bidder and people waged an insane bidding game in the house. The prize items that were up for grabs were the complete Fonz outfit. The outfit included Levi’s jeans, a white T-shirt, black engineer boots, and the iconic leather jacket that became his uniform throughout the first five years.
The package was expected to hike somewhere between $50,000 and $80,000, according to Bonhams. Fonzie’s silver Triumph motorcycle, which was driven throughout the sitcom was expected to sell between $80,000 and $120,000. There were also scripts from the series, photos, letters, as well as items from other projects Winkler did over the years up for sale.
The outfit eventually got sold to the highest bidder for $75,312. The most prized items became the 1949 Triumph Trophy 500 motorbike which went for a whopping $231,562. That’s strikingly higher than its expected $80k-$120k fetch.
A pair of mechanic overalls that Winkler wore on the show went for about $14k. An Army shirt he rocked as Fonzie got sold at $2k and the cowboy boots he once donned fetched around $1k.
