STAR TREK: TNG “FERENGI PADD” FROM “FIRSTBORN”

A prop item similar to that featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Firstborn” wherein a friend to the House of Mogh appears and begins gently urging “Alexander” (Brian Bonsall) to become a warrior. This item is a prop P.A.D.D. (Personal Access Display Device), almost identical to the one that “Quark” (Armin Shimerman) uses when “Commander Riker” (Jonathan Frakes) bribes him to reveal what the Duras sisters' plan is; it is foam-rubber cast, in an elongated hexagonal shape featuring gray and copper-colored textured trapezoidal buttons, a similarly-shaped screen with no graphical readout, either it has been removed for further production use or has simply worn off due to time and storage, there is “circuitry” on the front end, and an access panel on the back. The item measures 8 X 3.5 X 1.5 inches.
