While recently searching for the Con-way Central Express (CCX) mug prop in various scenes taking place at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station, something caught my eye in Sheriff Truman’s office. We all know Truman’s name is reminiscent of the 33rd President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. It appears that his love of presidents…
One of my favorite things to find are props that were carried over from the Pilot Episode to the regular season of Twin Peaks. Thanks to the help of fellow Bookhouse Boy Jason McMahan, I recently picked up a replica of the Con-way Central Express (CCX) Miles Ahead mug that is seen both in the Pilot…
In “The Autobiography of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes,” author Scott Frost establishes that Coop has been fascinated by tape recorders since he was a child. As any viewer of the series can attest, this checks out. Throughout Twin Peaks, Dale Cooper uses a total of three different micro cassette recorders….
Is it really a Twin Peaks set if it doesn’t feature a mid-century lighted picture? This photo of a fisherman wading in front of a mountain occupies the back wall of the Double R Diner through the bulk of the first two seasons.
In Twin Peaks – Part 3 on Showtime, hitman Jake (played by Bill Tangradi) tracks Jade’s yellow Jeep as she leaves the Rancho Rosa Estates neighborhood.

For this article, I highlight Italian floral-themed wall art at the Palmer House. Don’t blink as you might miss these items found at the bottom of the staircase.
Here’s a deep cut that I enjoy as both a Twin Peaks prop aficionado and a Northern Californian – a postcard from Jacques Renault’s apartment in Twin Peaks episode 1.005.
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, we see Laura Palmer spending lots of time in her bedroom. While working on film location stories about the Palmer House used in the film, I decided to search for the floral still life hanging above her dresser. It didn’t take long to find a match.
As a collector of prop replicas, I love it when an item is featured so prominently that it’s easy to identify the make and model. There are several clear shots of Donna Hayward’s cassette player as the gang listens to tapes that Laura has recorded for Dr. Jacoby.
One thing I loved about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was seeing memories shared from the television series brought to life. Take James’ last time he saw Laura Palmer. While he explains what happened during the Pilot and Episode 1.001, it was even more heartbreaking to see the scene replayed in real time during…
