Are they going to be discarded after this one engagement? If not, shouldn't there be scribbles from prior uses?

The best part is when you realize the movie production did 20 takes of that scene.

And so actually did discard 20 huge, otherwise pristine props, and had another 30 waiting because they didn't know how many takes would be needed.
