Since I was too young to watch Twin Peaks when it first aired, enjoying the ephemera that came with the show’s initial success has been an active pursuit. The talk show appearances, promotional materials, magazine articles, and collectible tie-ins can be difficult to find decades later. One piece of Peaks history that has seemingly been…
At long last, I have an original Twin Peaks prop to share with you, and it’s a doozy: Nadine Hurley’s screen-used rowing machine. It’s rare enough when a piece like this hits the market, but when the entire history of ownership is documented, down to a thirty year old receipt signed by David Lynch’s former…
This recognizable set decoration from Twin Peaks‘ second season has been rather elusive in my hunt for a replica, but I’ve finally narrowed it down enough to share.
It isn’t until the second season of Twin Peaks that we step into Sheriff Truman’s office. There, a whole new world of props and decorations are introduced. One such item is a paperweight distributed by Rosenthal-Netter, Inc. which features a brass owl on a marble base. Here’s a closer look at the latest prop I’ve…

With a look for every occasion, Dr. Jacoby is objectively Twin Peaks’ snappiest dresser. He debuts one of his most memorable ensembles early in the first season. The outfit is something of a tropical Zoot suit, featuring high waisted pants held up by suspenders, a long wallet chain, a pineapple shirt, and a tuna fish…

One of my favorite set pieces in Twin Peaks’ first season is the ceramic dachshund serving platter displayed above the stove at the Johnson house.
As Sheriff Truman’s crew searches Jacques Renault’s apartment in episode 1.005, Agent Cooper opens a cabinet with a variety of photos, cards and clippings affixed to the inside of the door. I recently identified another prop in Jacques’s collection from this set.
