Item Number: 07-1025
Until 2001, Ken Paul
Ltd. was Londons leading film prop supplier. Kens shop was well known
as a treasure trove of fine and eclectic antiques, including the
occupied coffin clock used in The Rocky Horror Movie, as well as a
source for the less extraordinary. For nearly five decades it supplied
props for virtually every English movie of note from Lawrence of Arabia
to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone as well as television shows
including Masterpiece Theater and more recently, Absolutely Fabulous.
Items #1021-30 were used in the Sherlock Holmes television series as
well as a number of English movies during the 50s-90s. As with any
business, getting on with the product took precedence, and film credits
were maintained for only a few of the thousands of items in his stock.
None the less, a keen eye for spotting the items in English films of
the period has produced many matches and given great pleasure and
amusement to their owners.
Early form with beaded band spread foot and ogee handle with thumb
rest. Lip with two control marks including cock and (18) 68, though
this example dates closer to 1800. Lightly scratched K P and K PAUL and
another set of initials to the underside. Untouched mottled patina,
some small dents and short crack from toasting (those characteristics
adding authenticity as movie props and contributing to its
identification). Full 40 oz. capacity! XMS-1025
Layaway is available for this item.
