“Mindhunter” fans can own a piece of the Netflix thriller series.
Furniture, lamps, a typewriter, curtains and even a vacuum cleaner used in the show’s Pittsburgh-area filming are on sale at Spring Street Gallery in Latrobe.
Those pieces are part of owner Adam Dunhoff’s vast collection of vintage and antique items stored in two warehouses and four shipping containers.
Not into “Mindhunter”?
Dunhoff, whose family owns Weiss Furniture Co. in Latrobe, also has pieces used in television series and movies including Kennywood-set “Adventureland,” Denzel Washington’s “Fences” and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”; the Viggo Mortensen vehicle, “The Road”; and Seth Rogen’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” — among many others.
He’s been renting and selling prop materials to production companies since 2014, along with selling to the public via the gallery since 2016. Now, he’s decided to pare down his collection and get out of the rental business.
“A lot of the movies want to buy, not rent,” Dunhoff said. “It’s a lot to deal with. It’s gotten to be a little too much.”
There also can be a lot of time and effort wasted in arranging rentals.
During one season of working with “Mindhunter,” he said, “They told me, ‘Buy all you can,’ and then they didn’t use any of it.”
Dunhoff said he intends to close out about 50%-80% of his rental business to focus on a small collection of treasured pieces to be available through propcart.com, an online rental site for renting props and set dressing for the entertainment industry.
“I’m going to regroup and remodel,” he said.
Dunhoff is advertising the sale through Facebook Marketplace. The gallery currently is not open to the public, and interested buyers must make an appointment to see the collection.
Dunhoff specializes in mid-century modern and 1950s-’60s vintage retro furnishings, including Atomic Age decor. He also collects quality antiques dating back to the 1800s and has a large collection of furniture sporting NFL logos.
Warehouse walls are lined with shelves holding chairs and couches. Floors hold more furniture, lamps, tableware, glassware, vintage electronics, artwork and other hidden treasures.
In addition to all of the physical mementos, Dunhoff has many personal show business memories.
“My family got me into acting when I was in kindergarten in 1994,” said the 2006 Latrobe Senior High School graduate.
Now a SAG-AFTRA-eligible actor, Dunhoff has appeared in a number of movies, along with working behind the scenes in various positions including props and casting.
Shirley McMarlin | Tribune-Review Spring Street Gallery owner Adam Dunhoff holds a curtain used on a set of the Netflix series, "Mindhunter."He’s had numerous celebrity encounters in Pittsburgh and said he’s become friends with actor/movie-maker Seth Rogen.
He had a small role in Rogen’s 2020 film, “An American Pickle,” in which Pittsburgh stood in for Brooklyn, New York.
He was invited to the “Adventureland” cast party, hanging out with Jesse Eisenberg and Kristin Stewart.
While working on “The Last Witch Hunter,” Dunhoff said he was hanging with friends outside a hotel “in the freezing cold. Elijah Wood came out and just started talking to me abut movies, what it’s like to be a DJ, how he likes Pittsburgh and about horror films and indie films.”
During filming of “The Road,” he spied Viggo Mortensen at a Pirates game “in dirty costume and dirty fingernails.” The actor caught Dunhoff’s eye and invited him to sit down for a few innings.
Those are memories he will cherish, even when the props are sold.
“I’m a one-man show, and I feel like I’m getting too attached to some of these items,” he added.
