Limited edition vintage movie clapperboard pin, "Star Portraits", Scene 53

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage promotional pin features a miniature film clapperboard, an iconic object from the world of cinema. The piece adopts the classic clapperboard shape, with a rectangular body and an inclined upper part, faithfully evoking the accessory used during filming. The finish presents an elegant contrast between the black and white stripes on the movable part, typical of traditional clapperboards.

On the visible side, the inscription "Scene: 53" and "Take: 1" can be seen in yellow lettering on the lower part, while the upper part reveals, in partially legible red letters, what appears to be "portraits de stars" (star portraits). This graphic design reinforces the promotional and thematic aspect of the pin, probably created for an event or a limited series dedicated to cinema or its celebrities.

The overall visual appearance suggests a metal construction with a shiny coating, but the precise material is not explicitly indicated in the keywords and therefore cannot be confirmed with certainty. The surface has a lacquered or enameled effect, which gives the pin a smooth and reflective finish under light. The main colors are black, pale yellow, and red, associated with a neutral background to highlight the cinema motif.

The pin is photographed on a wooden box with a red background, which accentuates the contrast and allows for precise observation of the motif's details. No major defects are visible on the front; the surface appears clean and without noticeable scratches. No elements of the attachment mechanism are visible in this image.

This limited edition promotional pin is aimed at anyone wishing to add a retro and cinematic touch to clothing, a bag, or a display case dedicated to the world of cinema. The "limited edition" inscription in the keywords suggests a restricted print run, typical of promotional items distributed at cinema-related events or festivals.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side has a good appearance, with no apparent defects or noticeable chips.

Did you know? The film clapperboard, also called a clapboard or slate, has been used since the beginnings of talking pictures to synchronize image and sound during editing. Its design has changed very little since the 1930s, making it an immediately recognizable symbol of audiovisual production.
