I have acquired a desk that was supposedly a prop in Superman the Movie, shot in Calgary, Alberta. I would like some way to authenticate if it's the original.

    Hi, welcome to SF&F. I assume you've tried watching the movie? What details are you looking for that would help you decide it's the original prop and not a replica?

    This would be a far more interesting question if you posted a picture/s of the desk you've bought and explained why you think it is/isn't genuine

  • keep us updated - would be interested to know what the results are (for privacy sake, you could delete this question and ask a new one simply saying "is this desk the same one" and not get into who is in possesion of said item). Good luck - hope it turns out positive - that would be cool

    I agree that posting your own picture of the desk would be interesting. Commented Mar 4, 2020 at 19:35

Yes

Here are some screenshots from movie-screencaps.com. You can see a front shot and a back shot, although the desk is covered in Lex's evil doings, including used orange paper cups.

front shot of the desk and Lex Luthor, who is reading a document, facing the walls of books

back shot of the desk, several documents have been put on it, including a newspaper; several lit lamps

roughly the same picture as above, but now with Superman in the middle of the room

Really the only details I can see are the edge trims.
