Largest Hollywood prop shop goes to auction today

On NPR’s Morning Edition today, an audio interview with Harvey Schwartz, owner of the largest Hollywood prop shop, said that the poor economy has forced his business to go to auction this morning. The story notes: 

One of the largest movie prop shops in the world is closing. Since the 70s, 20th Century Props has been supplying set decorations for films from Moulin Rouge to Blade Runner. The economy, the last writers strike and productions leaving Hollywood for cheaper locations are all reasons why the shop is closing.
