An untrimmed Golden Ticket from Mel Stuart's fantasy musical Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) randomly hid five golden tickets in the wrappers of his chocolate bars, sparking a global frenzy to find them. Five lucky winners, including Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum), arrived at the gates of the mysterious chocolate factory, ready and excited to enter the fabled building and witness the magic within. The ticket 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 the production's Bavarian film studio to allow for a swift wrap, making way for the immediate filming of Cabaret.

Printed on gold-coloured foil paper, this ticket is untrimmed and not finished for filming. It retains all its detailing, including the curved pattern around the perimeter and the black lettering explaining how the ticket holder can redeem their prize. The legendary text "Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket. From Mr. Willy Wonka" remains prominent near the top of the piece. The ticket shows signs of its age, including fold lines and significant creasing, and is glued to a board from a previous display. Dimensions: 19 cm x 9.5 cm (7 1/2" x 3 1/2")

£5,000 - 7,000 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.
