Dick Van Dyke's Mary Poppins Jacket Fetches $64,000 At Auction

The famous striped jacket worn by Dick Van Dyke in Disney classic Mary Poppins has sold for $64,000 (£40,000) at auction.

The multi-coloured blazer, sported by Van Dyke when the characters jump into a chalk sidewalk drawing and dance with cartoon animals, was bought by a private collector at the Profiles in History auction in Los Angeles last week (ends21Dec14).

Joe Maddalena from the auction house says, "The jacket comes from an iconic scene in an iconic movie - it doesn't get much better than that."
