A partial Wonka bar wrapper from Mel Stuart's fantasy musical Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Wonka bars featured throughout this adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's story, after Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) randomly hid five golden tickets within the wrappers of his chocolate bars. It was in such a bar that Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) found his precious ticket and his adventure began. The wrapper comes from the personal collection of Julie Dawn Cole who portrayed Veruca Salt

Props from this beloved film are extremely hard to find, as most were destroyed at its Bavarian film studio to allow production to wrap quickly, making way for the immediate filming of Cabaret.

This paper wrapper, likely cut from a hero bar, has the iconic Wonka logo at the centre, featuring the factory owner's top hat in yellow. The edge is brightly decorated in orange, with the remainder coloured a rich chocolate brown. The piece has been glued to a board from a previous framed display and remains in good overall production-used condition. Dimensions: 16.5 cm x 8 cm x 1 cm (6 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 1/4")

£3,000 - 5,000 M



The four lots from Mel Stuart’s musical Roald Dahl adaptation Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory come directly from the personal collection of actress Julie Dawn Cole. Julie portrayed the spoilt, precocious brat Veruca Salt, who demanded everything, now! Veruca met her on-screen demise after proving herself to be a thoroughly “bad egg”.
Cole has carefully looked after these items since filming concluded, and feels now is the time to give them new homes. She has also kindly offered to dedicate an autographed photo to each winning bidder.
