Only Fools & Horses - an iconic piece of British television history - an original screen used prop 'Del's Cigar Jar' from the series. Del's cigar jar - originally a made as a biscuit barrel - appeared in every single series of the sitcom, and could very often be seen atop the bar at the back of the Trotter Flat. This jar was obtained after filming commenced on the final episode in 2003, directly from the Only Fools Production Department. The underside of the lid has been autographed by Sir David Jason (Del), Director Tony Dow and Writer John Sullivan (1946-2011) in black ink. To the base and under the lid is marked 'Props Room 211'.  The ceramic barrel survives in excellent original condition with no damage, some crazing in places and light wear from production use. This very jar can be seen on screen in many episodes, and featured nicely in the UKTV 'Story Of Only Fools & Horses' documentary in which David Jason can be seen talking about it and inspecting it. Supplied with a full letter of authenticity from the Only Fools & Horses Appreciation Society. A unique, iconic, and important piece of British Comedy history.
