Dr. No - Set of Five Le Cercle Casino Plaques

Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000

Lot 138 Five Le Cercle casino plaques from Terence Young's spy film Dr. No. MI6 agent 007 (Sean Connery) first uttered his name-"Bond, James Bond"-while playing baccarat chemin-de-fer against Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) at the Le Cercle casino inside London's Les Ambassadeurs club.

Le Cercle casino loaned its house plaques to EON Productions for the film. This lot consists of five plaques-one apiece in 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500-pound denominations-manufactured of glossy plastic composites engraved "Le Cercle" with raised serial numbers. They are in good overall condition with minor bubbling and chipped edges from age and production.

Diamonds Are Forever - James Bond's (Sean Connery) Screen-Matched Suit Jacket 

Estimate: $20,000 - 30,000

Lot 139 James Bond's (Sean Connery) screen-matched suit jacket from Guy Hamilton's Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever.


Bond wore the jacket for example when he posed as a lab worker with the government research facility, and during a car chase with the local police in Las Vegas. The jacket is screen matched by aspects of the pattern of the weave on the lapels, placing of the buttons on the cuffs and the distinctive paisley pattern on the lining.

Many of the suits worn by Connery were taken from the set by the actor after producer "Cubby" Broccoli stated he could keep any of the costumes he requested. It has been suggested that Connery paid his accountant with the costumes he wore as Bond.

This suit jacket was custom-made by tailor Anthony Sinclair, who created clothing for all Sean Connery's appearances as 007. The single-breasted suit jacket is made from light gray worsted wool which features a subtle crosshatch pattern. The garment is lined with a black silk-like fabric decorated with an intricate printed white paisley-inspired pattern. Two slant pockets with wide flaps are situated at the hip and the left breast displays a welt pocket.

Four small gray buttons are sewn to each cuff, and two larger matching buttons are attached to the front. The jacket displays light wear and minor brown-colored marks on the front.

Moonraker 6 Shuttle Model Miniature

Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000

Lot 140 A Moonraker 6 shuttle model miniature from Lewis Gilbert's space spy adventure Moonraker (1979). Constructed by a corporation headed by Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), Moonraker 6 launched from an aeronautics complex in the Amazon, transporting James Bond (Roger Moore) to Drax's secret space station.

Various scales of Moonraker shuttles were built by Derek Meddings' model team for the film, with this being one of the smallest scale shuttles at 16". Contructured of resin, this white and orange model miniature is based on the design of a NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter. It features three clustered black space engines, a dark brown underbelly and nose cone, a "Moonraker" marking on both sides and a tail rudder with a black "6" on both sides. The interior is rigged with pipes for pluming liquid nitrogen that would simulate engine exhaust on camera.

The underside of the model also features several holes where it was previously mounted during filming. Derek Meddings model work is highly sought after and scarce, and Moonraker's visual effects were highly regarded upon its release. The piece exhibits wear and some damage from use and age, including extensive cracking with some missing body components. Minor stabiliziation and paint in-fill has been applied to improve its aesthetic, and it is in overall fair condition.

Lot 141 Kristatos' (Julian Glover) buoy from John Glen's spy adventure James Bond: For Your Eyes Only (1981). Smuggler and double agent Kristatos tied Bond (Roger Moore) and Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) to a buoy and keel-hauled them.

This white painted, torpedo-shaped metal buoy features mooring shackles on the front and back of the top section as well as a tail accent on the bottom branded "NM." The top of the buoy also features a handle as well as a flagpole accent. It shows signs of use and wear throughout, but remains in excellent overall condition.

Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
