1995 Goldeneye Clapper Board Authentication?

DUBL_OH

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all are well! I was able to pick up this GE clapper for the opening bid (£500) with no other bidders which has me a bit worried since this was a popular movie, and I have seen these things go for big money at auction houses. Since I am a bit out of my element on this one, I wondered if you all wouldn't mind looking it over for me, or if you knew anyone who knows clapper boards enough to give a good estimation on them?

Don't panic. There were 3 different types of board on Goldeneye. Engraved with & without 007 logo and a blank board with adhesive details. I used to have an identical one to yours. Additionally you have Roger Moore's signature which along with Honor Blackman's can only add to the value. I've also seen one which had a bit of masking tape stuck on the board with the title Goldeneye on it because 1995 was a transitional time when the old style wood slates were being changed over to the easy clean acrylic type.

I'm impressed -{

Plus the seller is known to us and he's genuine. You got a bargain there.

Thanks for the replies all! Can anything be said about the side it is hinged from? (pictures of other GE boards I looked up have the hinge on the opposite side) The seller mentions Roger's signature, but I only see her signature. Who is she? (Can't read the sig)

Speaking of signatures, would have been nice to see signatures from the cast rather than the series or what scene and take the board was retired at, but this beats a blank board.

I am pretty excited to show it alongside my Z3!

This is the lovely Deborah Moore, Roger’s daughter. She had a cameo in DAD as the BA stewerdess.

The clapper stick is removable therefore it can hinge on the left or the right. It is pretty much down to the individual clapper loader. Deborah signed it before her late Father. Roger's signature is below hers in your top image -{
