WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971) - Wonka bar
A Wonka Bar from Mel Stuart’s fantasy musical Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Wonka Bars feature throughout this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s story, as Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) randomly hid five Golden Tickets within the bars’ wrappers. It was in such a bar that Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) found his precious ticket and his incredible adventure began.

Made from compressed card, the bar has the famous Wonka logo at the centre, featuring the factory owner’s top hat in yellow. The edge is brightly decorated in orange with the rest of the confectionary coloured a rich chocolate brown.

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

The Wonka Bar is accompanied by a letter and photo from one of the actors who portrayed an Oompa Loompa in the film. It is in very good condition, with only a few minor scuffs to the edge and a crease to the top right corner. Dimensions (Wonka bar): 9 cm x 16 cm x 0.5 cm (3 ½” x 6” x ½”)
