Original Production-Made Dukes Props Available

[DB537]

Hi everyone. I have some rare original Dukes props available.

These were all made for the production of the show, and are unused, original extras that have been in storage for over 40 years. I obtained these directly from the prop house that made them for the show. I've been helping them organize and identify some of their old stock items, and found these in the archives there. All items are guaranteed authentic, and will include my personal COA. Message me here if interested. All prices include US shipping. Click the links for photos.

Set of 2 - Hazzard County Driver's License + Generic (Abe Hogg) Driver's License - $250 -https://ibb.co/cK32YKHw

Originally made for their appearance in the post office scene in 'The Hack of Hazzard', the Hazzard County driver's license props can also briefly be spotted in the episodes 'Miss Tri-Counties' and 'The Ransom of Hazzard County'. The more generic version was used to create the forged license of Boss' twin brother Abe in 'Baa, Baa White Sheep.' It has extra paper at the bottom so it would fit in a typewriter. The 'Hazzard' version never had typed details, as they were never meant to be seen up close, and only had a fingerprint.

1983 Hazzard County License Plate Graphics & 84 Plate Tab - $250 - https://ibb.co/cdpBX5Z

When Georgia's real-world license plates were redesigned in 1983, Dukes updated their prop plates as well. This is an uncut sheet of original green '19' '83' & 'Hazzard County' graphics that was made for the new plates. The set also includes an original production-made '84 registration sticker from the final season.

1978, 1982, or 1984 License Plate Registration Tabs - $60 each - https://ibb.co/b5XmgJCt

These original license plate 'year' tabs that do not include the state name of Georgia were specifically made for the show. The regular Georgia tabs of the time were different from these custom-made Dukes stickers.

Gold 'Scales' Seal Sticker for Police Cars, Matte Gold - $100 each - https://ibb.co/ZRsLG8hs

The center seal with the scales design was a separate sticker that covered the original design on every set of Sheriff car door decals. These graphics were all on gold sticker paper, not vinyl. This is one reason the producers avoided filming in rainy conditions. The 'County Sheriff' door emblem was a stock item from the prop house, used in numerous older shows and movies. Both mirror and matte gold stickers were used, and sometimes both could be seen in the same episodes. These are matte gold. 

1981 Mississippi FTO 521 License Plate - $200 - https://ibb.co/G40SQMct

These plates were made for the episode 'Trouble at Cooter's,' where one was used on the fur thieves' van. It was reused on one of the cars of the visitors attending Carver's meeting in 'Undercover Dukes'. This is an unused original and is made of Crescent mat board. I found a few of these, but only have one left.

Confederate Front Plate - As seen on all Sheriff's Cars and Boss' Cadillac - $300 - https://ibb.co/hRCBy5vb

These were made in both metal and mat board versions for the show. This one is mat board. We found a few of these in the old stock plates recently. They also made a sticker version of the graphic to add to a blank plate quickly if needed. The stickers are $150.

From season 4, episode 16, 'Shine on Hazzard Moon,' Cletus' 'Beginner's Guide to Swimming' book cover - $200 - https://ibb.co/DXZn5KG - Screenshot: https://ibb.co/67FD1DtW

These were made specifically for this episode, and are unused extra copies that were not trimmed down. The covers will be rolled and shipped in a tube due to their size.

Thanks!

Daniel

This is interesting. Help me to understand this better. I've skimmed through a couple items and am wondering if all these things are prototypes. Have any of them actually aired on the show? The forerunner to the Abe Lincoln Hogg driver's license has caught my eye the most. 

Edit: Am I correct that it is a set of 2 so you get both of them for $250?

Also, In your first paragraph you mentioned that you are currently helping them organize things. Does that mean you will be offering more items for sale as the process continues?

Hi Roger,

They are basically production-made print overruns that were never needed for the show, so they stayed in storage all this time. The screen-used items would have come from the exact same print runs. In the 1980s, when it was an expensive process to set up a huge press for custom items, they always ran some extras just in case they were needed later. 

The set of 2 licenses is $250. 

I'm actually working for them directly now, and will be their archivist and online sales rep. We're setting up a website for collectors that will be separate from their production site for movie and TV jobs. I'll be handling all the vintage inventory and collector orders and requests, so they can focus on their current work.
