A second unit "XA" camera clapperboard from the production of Jon Favreau's Iron Man. In one of his signature cameo appearances across the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and other film adaptations of his Marvel Comics work, Iron Man co-creator Stan Lee appeared as a smoking jacket-clad version of himself at the Stark Industries charity gala.

The inaugural film in Phase One of the MCU, Iron Man is today recognized among the most successful - and influential - films in world history, earning more than $585 million in global box office and prestigious accolades such as Academy Award®, BAFTA®, and Grammy® nominations. In 2022, the film was selected by the Library of Congress for permanent preservation in the National Film Registry for its significance to American culture.

This acrylic clapperboard with a striped, hinged wooden slate is labeled for camera "XA," second unit director "Phil Neilson," and cinematographer "Jonathan Taylor" against a graphic of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man's (Robert Downey Jr.) arc reactor. It is signed by Lee on front in black ink. The clapperboard exhibits minor scratching and cracking from production. Dimensions: 10.25" x 9.5" x 1" (25.75 cm x 24.25 cm x 2.5 cm)

Additional Provenance: Stan Lee Collectibles Certificate of Authenticity and "Excelsior Approved" holographic authentication sticker numbered "SLC-23760."

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
