A shark tooth clapperboard from the production of Steven Spielberg's shark thriller Jaws. During production, a small number (possibly four) of clapperboards were custom-made in the style of the shark's jaws, in homage to the film's voracious antagonist.

This black-and-white wooden clapperboard has shark tooth-shaped slates, and reads "Zanuck/Brown Prod. Universal City Studios 02074," "PROD JAWS," "DIR. S. SPIELBERG," and "CAM. W. BUTLER." The slate operates vertically by pulling two metal poles, which are inserted on the reverse and affixed with elastic bands to metal screws at the bottom of the board. The clapperboard comes with a letter of provenance from Jaws assistant cameraman James A. Contner.

The piece is in excellent overall condition with minor chips and scuffs to the wood.

Dimensions: 12 1/2" x 11" x 1 1/2" (31.75 cm x 28 cm x 4 cm)

Estimate: $25,000 - 35,000

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
