Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, Background TGRI Canister with Mutagen Ooze

original movie prop

This is a production-made TGRI canister that was designed for background use in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991). The canister is missing its TGRI decal due to heavy production use. Traces of the lettering can still be seen, however.

The prop master on the film authenticated this canister as one of about 200 canisters used in the film, mostly as background props in the lab.

This item was originally acquired from an Azalea Auction event, which was held in Castle Hayne, North Carolina on January 24, 2004, where the Turtles II prop master sold hundreds of props that were previously in storage.
