SARASOTA, FLA. — Freedom Auction Company set sail on March 12 with more than 500 lots from the inventory of The Sea Hagg, a retail shop near Cortez, Fla., that operated for 25 years before closing permanently in 2022. Along with nautical antiques and curiosities, the auction offered original Disney production props including the top lot, a dive helmet from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) that more than doubled its high estimate to $3,250 ($800-$1,200). Although not for actual diving, the helmet was in good company with other historic artifacts that did well during the auction. More on this sale to follow, price quoted with buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house.
