BOARDWALK EMPIRE: Torn Page from Nucky Thompson’s Great Expectations Book in Episode 107

Uncover a piece of Nucky Thompson’s formative years with this authentic prop from Boardwalk Empire Season 1, Episode 7 ("Home"). This torn page comes from a copy of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, a book that holds deep significance in Nucky’s childhood, often associated with his mother, Ellen Thompson, who likely read it to him and his sister Susan as a source of comfort amidst their troubled family life. In this episode, flashbacks reveal young Nucky’s struggles with his abusive father, Ethan, and the loss of Susan to tuberculosis, traumas that shape his rise to power in Atlantic City. The torn page symbolizes the fracturing of Nucky’s innocence, possibly torn in a moment of grief or anger, reflecting the harsh realities that shattered his early dreams of a better life—much like Pip’s journey in Dickens’ novel. A poignant relic of Nucky’s past, this prop captures the emotional weight of his relationship with his mother and the origins of his complex character, making it a must-have for fans and collectors of the series’ rich storytelling. Condition: Excellent, with intentional aging for authenticity. This item comes with a certificate of authenticity.
