'The Flintstone's in Viva Rock Vegas' Movie Prop Plate & Napkin - REDUX

Back in the day I was starting to get heavy into movie props, but after a couple of years I stopped. They tend to take up a lot of room and can be pricey. I posted this back in 2013 and for some reason just stopped, never posting the few other props I had acquired.

One of the few Flintstones related props I managed to snag was this really cool plate and napkin set from the movie 'The Flintstone's in Viva Rock Vegas' released in 2000. You can see a boat load of these plates in the casino buffet scene and when my set arrived I was really impressed. First of all, that plate is a heavy sucker. It's made from casting resin and colored to represent rock and is quite a sturdy plate measuring 9.5" (24,1cm) diameter x .625" (1,6cm) thick (the plate stand shown in the photos did not come with the set). The rag is made from brown micro fiber and is held together by a short length of leather and a plastic shell. For Flintstones fans, acquisitions like these are quite special and I'm really glad to have been able to get this cool set.

Musket and Flintlock Pistol Props from 'The Alamo' Starring Dennis Quade and Billy Bob Thornton

I bought these about 18 years ago and finally got around to photographing them. These were sold as props from 'The Alamo' starring Dennis Quade and Billy Bob Thornton. But here's the problem: I can't prove it. I cannot find the COA or receipts anywhere (at least not yet), but I am still looking. These are non-firing replicas, as the barrels are plugged. The ramrods are made of wood instead of metal and the patch box is simulated by a one-piece decorative plate. However, the hammer's can be cocked back, locked in place, and 'fired' just like a toy gun.

Simulated patch box. On real muskets, this was hinged and could be opened to reveal storage for patches.

The flintlock pistol measures 12.25" (31.11cm) L, the ramrod 5" (12.7cm) L

'The Flintstone's in Viva Roc Vegas' Movie Prop Plate & Napkin

There for a very short while I had a fascination with movie props. It just had never occurred to me that I could get stuff that was actually in a movie from eBay but when I found out that many props were available I ended up acquiring a few - nothing real fancy mind you but interesting to me. One of the few Flintstones related props I managed to snag was this really cool plate and napkin set from the movie 'The Flintstone's in Viva Roc Vegas' released in 2000. You can see a boat load of these plates in the casino buffet scene and when my set arrived I was really impressed. First of all, that plate is a heavy sucker. It's made from casting resin and colored to represent rock and is quite a sturdy plate measuring 9 1/2" (24.1cm) dia x 5/8" (1.6cm) thick (the plate stand shown in the photos did not come with the set). The rag is made from brown micro fiber and is held together by a short length of leather and a plastic shell. For Flintstones fans, acquisitions like these are quite special and I'm really glad to have been able to get this cool set. Enjoy!
