Lumon props from Severance on AppleTV+

[Bloop]

I'm making these Lumon food tokens, modeled for 3D printing:

Severance - Lumon food token

I did a (relatively) quick model of the food tokens that were used for the Lumon vending machines: I'm not sure if the close-up reference images above are the real prop or a replica, but I used them as a reference. I place on resin printing them as soon as I have time, see if any adjustments...

I think I may have found the token jar. I know it's not a recent prop, like the Lumon food tokens, but I figured I'd try to find it anyway.

I think it's this "mDesign Modern Round Storage Canister Jar" size medium. Or at least this is the closest jar I could find. I tried to estimate the size of the canister based on the token size in the low-res picture below. I assumed the tokens are 25mm - I measured a token I had from a local barcade. The size shown in the image below seems to be close to it.


They're made with different colored metal tops, but I didn't find any silver ones available. But I think the lid may have been painted for the prop. They may not have wanted shiny silver. There's still several places to buy them online with the non-silver tops.

Beautiful work. It looks like a genuine device.

But yeesh! Real Nagra parts? Man I hope they weren't from a working machine.

This seems to be the best place to post Severance props as I couldn't see a thread in the main Replica Props section.

Wow that is perfect for replica reference material

Good Morning Refiners,

Please see below for my latest find: the egg wedger used by Helena Eagan in S2E9 of Severance. I was lucky enough to track down one with its original packaging, so please also enjoy a trio of egg-based recipes as a bonus. (The Scallop Surprise looks to be a particular delight.)

Great find! I will enjoy each recipe equally.

Great find! I will enjoy each recipe equally.

The irony is that I can’t abide hard boiled eggs (though I’m not sure ‘taking them raw’ is preferable either!)

Huh. 6 shillings and thruppence?

Huh. 6 shillings and thruppence?

Old British currency

Old British currency

Well yes. That’s the 6 / 3 I was referring to. The old price tag on the box.

You posed it as a question. I thought you didn't know what shillings were.

You posed it as a question. I thought you didn't know what shillings were.

Why would I have said “shillings” if I didn’t know what they were? The word isn’t on the box.

Anyway. To spell out what I was saying in case it wasn’t obvious - that’s clearly a vintage British product. Great find, vanessaparody !

But interestingly Tala were, and are, a UK firm. I don’t think they sold their products in the US, where Severance is filmed. So was a similar product sold in the US? Did a set dresser buy a vintage British one because it looked cool and frankly rather disturbingly creepy? Was it in the script as some symbolic object – splitting the egg into severed segments?
