Lot of 2 clapboards, one from ''The Sting II'' and the other from ''Hill Street Blues''. Clapboards or slates are used to sync the sound recording with the picture in editing. ''The Sting II'' slate features a black and white painted wooden clapstick mounted to a plexiglass board with applied white lettering listing the film's title and names of the producer, director and cameraman. Measures 11'' x 10.5''. Clapboard from ''Hill Street Blues'' has white tape with black felt tip lettering, indicating ''Hoblit'', (Gregory Hoblit) who directed at least 14 episodes of the popular police show. All-wood clapboard measures 8'' x 7.5''. Clapboards show general wear and scuffing, especially the ''Hill Street Blues'' piece. Very good.
