 Star Trek  Production Slate - STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979)


A painted production slate from Robert Wise’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The easel-back metal slate has two storage compartments and a large clip on back. Carefully hand stenciled across the top in white paint with production title, studio (Paramount), production number (10858), and the names of the director (Robert Wise), production designer (Michaelson), set decorator (De Scenna) and prop master (Richard Rubin). The slate was acquired directly from the private collection of the film’s property master, Richard Rubin. As a result of careful preservation, while it exhibits minor signs of production use, it is in excellent condition overall.

Truly emblematic of Hollywood, slates are used during every take of a film's productions in order to accurately locate and utilize scenes during editing. This historic slate marks the first time the crew of the USS Enterprise was seen since the television series, and in the first-ever motion picture.

Dimensions: 19 ¼” x 3” x 12” (19 cm x 7 ½ cm x 30 ½ cm)

Provenance: Mr. Richard Rubin
