Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years

An original clapperboard used in the production of Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years, the 1981 drama serial based on the life of the noted British politician.

This production used traditional style black wooden clapperboard with hinged clap stick features the abbreviated name of the series 'CHURCHILL' in white lettering in addition to the name of director Ferdinand Fairfax with spaces to record the scene and take information and retaining the date from its last use during the production, '1 MAY 81' which is hand inscribed on applied tape.

The clapperboard measures approximately 10" x 8" and remains in good vintage condition exhibiting much surface and edge wear having clearly seen heavy use during the production.

A fine example of the iconic clapperboard from this well received series which was the recipient of eight BAFTA nominations.
