An American flag taken from the back of the jacket Peter Fonda wore in the film “Easy Rider” has sold for $89,625 at an auction of the actor’s memorabilia from the iconic 1969 movie.

The Rolex watch that Fonda wore in the film was also part of the auction over the weekend at Dallas’ Heritage Galleries. The prototype watch sold for $33,460.

“Vintage film fans were quite active in this auction, with material related to classic stars realizing stratospheric prices,” said Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment auctions for Heritage.

Aside from items offered by Fonda, the auction included memorabilia related to Peter Frampton, Elvis Presley and Abbott and Costello.
