John Wayne’s Gold Handle Mugs just made Hollywood history. In July 2025, seven original mugs gifted by Duke to his cast and crew sold through Heritage Auctions, setting new records for movie memorabilia. The top-selling mug, from The Train Robbers (1973), reached an incredible $57,500. These mugs weren’t just keepsakes—they were Duke’s personal way of saying thank you, each featuring a 12K gold handle and custom artwork for the film. See several originals on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in the Fort Worth Stockyards, and shop limited-edition reproductions to carry the tradition home.
