jw.mathews@gmail.com Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am working on a political comedy where I need 3 Red Governmental Boxes (Like the one Gordon Brown Holds up in front of number 11). We have already made one but to make a further three would take longer than our rehearsal period and prove expensive. Does anyone know of any prop houses that may have them in stock? Does anyone know who makes the real ones or does anyone know who makes red leather briefcases. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 In short no...but have you thought about taking a cheep brief case and recovering it. It's not that hard to take the locks out and handle and feet off then simply recover it by stretching the new material over the old and stapling it inside.

jw.mathews@gmail.com Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yea we have already made one by dying it but the current time constraints are stopping us from doing it. We are ready to do it if we have not found any more within the next couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
