Vancouver movie/TV props company shutting down, auctioning off props

Whether it’s a TV series such as X-Files or Arrow, or movies such as American Pie and Double Jeopardy , chances are you’ve seen props in those productions that will be on sale in Vancouver, November 20 and 21, as Paul Pincott of Can Am Importique shuts down his prop rental company after 38 years.

“It’s just been the best time of my life,” he said. “Who in their right mind would literally work 24/7? I don’t even take a salary because of the overhead and that and still want to carry on.”

Pincott has supplied props for more than 2,000 feature films, TV shows and music videos.
