So it's probably my stupid fault for not busting out a ruler and seeing that 8 inches was not the length of a standard clapboard. It's probably my stupid fault for not realizing you couldn't get even a basic clapboard for this price. Ok, I'm probably stupid.

That said, other products in this category have a key word like "Novelty" or "Decoration" or "Toy" to let you know this is not a real clapboard (although arguably you could use it if you want to look like a total moron). The fact that this product does not state anything of this nature in the description makes me feel mislead and therefore inclined to write a poor review.

If you want a souvenir or a toy, this will work fine for you. If you want a "Director's Clapboard" to use in production, do not buy this.

I purchased this as a theater prop. It was exactly what I needed and a great price as well. Thanks!

I have a 13-year old son with autism that likes to reenact scenes from movies, one of his favorite scenes is a gag reel after Toy Story. Problem was, no clapboard. He tried to jury rig some with cardboard but while it looked the part it simply wouldn't sound "right" to him. I got this clapboard for him as a desperate measure, and he really liked it. It is loud, the surface is easy to write on and it looks right.

On the downside, it is not very strong and will fall apart after some heavy use. For the cost it does the job, after it won't take any more duct tape I just buy him a couple more.
