Coffee mug for ''Blood Alley'' personally given by John Wayne to the film's cinematographer William H. Clothier, who worked with Wayne in many of his films. Beginning in the early 1950s, Wayne famously gave custom-made coffee mugs to the cast and crew of his movies, each personalized for the recipient and featuring the signature gold handle. This mug reads ''Bill From Duke'' on one side and ''Blood Alley'' on the other, underneath an illustration of the ship featured in the film. With the Wallace China stamp on the underside, the china company used for Wayne's mugs. Measures 3.75'' tall and 3.375'' wide, not including handle. In exceptional, near fine condition with no rubbing to gilt on handle. Accompanied by LOA from Clothier's daughter.
