230. Jimmy Bond's (Woody Allen) Jacket
CASINO ROYALE (1967)

Jimmy Bond’s (Woody Allen) jacket from the ensemble comedy Casino Royale. Bond wore his jacket as Sir James Bond (David Niven) and Miss Moneypenny (Barbara Bouchet) travelled to Casino Royale and discovered he was the evil Dr. Noah, head of SMERSH.
Made of beige cotton fabric, the jacket features a pointed collar, with large brown buttons running down the front. Matching buttons are located on the hip pockets with a pair of hook-and-eye fastenings on the collar. The jacket is fully lined with light brown satin, and has an M. Berman Ltd. label inside the interior pocket, reading “Woody Allen” in blue ink. The jacket displays light signs of wear as a result of age and use, with slight discolouration around the inside of the collar and small plucks to the fabric.
£3,000-5,000

231. Tee Hee's (Julius Harris) Jacket
LIVE AND LET DIE (1973)

Tee Hee’s (Julius Harris) jacket from Guy Hamilton’s spy film Live and Let Die. Tee Hee wore his jacket towards the end of the film as he and James Bond (Roger Moore) fought in the train cabin, after he smuggled himself on board. The double-breasted jacket is made from black and grey houndstooth material with black and white marbled buttons and a black and white polka dot satin lining. The right sleeve is longer than the left and displays a long slit along the seam in order to allow the use of Tee Hee’s prosthetic pincer hand. The original hand-written label reading “Tee Hee No 1” has become unstuck from the interior pocket; however, it still accompanies the jacket. The jacket displays signs of wear from use, including slight tears and fraying to the lining surrounding the left-hand pocket.
£1,000-1,500

232. Shark Fin and Air Pellet
LIVE AND LET DIE (1973)

A shark fin and air pellet from Guy Hamilton’s spy film Live and Let Die. James Bond (Roger Moore) looked off the back of Quarrel Jr.’s (Roy Stewart) boat and saw several shark fins in the water behind them. The air pellet comes from the film’s finale where Bond finally bested Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto) by forcing him to swallow the pellet.

The shark fin is hollow and is made of fiberglass that is painted matt brown. The air pellet is made of polished metal, with a small black, rubber ring around the bottom of the round that attaches to the screw top. Both pieces show light wear from production and age, but remain in great condition. Accompanying each piece is a letter of authenticity from William Grefe, who is credited for his work on the shark scenes. Dimensions (fin): 36 cm x 20 cm x 40 ½ cm (14” x 8” x 16”); (pellet): 2 cm x 2 cm x 5 cm(¾” x ¾” x 2”)

Used by production staff to select press stills, the contact sheets show various scenes from the film, including the high-speed boat chase between James Bond (Roger Moore) and Kananga’s (Yaphet Kotto) henchmen, and Moore interacting with local school children behind the scenes.
Each sheet is printed on glossy photographic paper and displays between 25 and 30 contact prints respectively, all made directly from original negatives, including shots from behind the scenes. Various shots are marked in orange, indicating choices for publication. The sheets display two punch-holes and creases through use. Dimensions (each): 25.5 cm x 20.5 cm (10" x 8”)

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977)

Created by Gieves & Hawkes Ltd., the cap is made of white cotton, with a black cotton and leather peak. It displays a black knitted band and is dressed with a black rubber chinstrap. Embroidered in fine faux-gold wire along the edge of the peak is a braid of oak leaves. A Royal Navy patch, from a subsequent production, is stitched to the front. The interior features a brown leather sweatband and a Bermans & Nathans costumiers label reading “Roger Moore. James Bond. 11523. The Spy Who Loved Me”. A hand-written label, reading “Radford”, is adhered in the sweatband, which suggests the cap was used in multiple productions.

Reinforced with a metal frame to maintain its shape, Bond’s hat shows slight production use, including a loose thread on the front detail, minor stains and leather wear. Dimensions: 27 cm x 27 cm x 12 cm (10 ½” x 10 ½” x 5”)

TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1995)

James Bond’s (Pierce Brosnan) Ericsson gadget phone from Roger Spottiswoode’s spy film Tomorrow Never Dies. Bond used his phone as he escaped from Elliot Carver’s (Jonathan Pryce) headquarters, using his remote-control BMW 750iL car to evade Carver’s guards.
This is a stunt, non-practical version of the phone, ideal for use in long-distance shots, or sequences in which the phone could only be seen from behind, rather than closeups of the internal keypad and screen. One of only 12 created for the production, the prop is made of resin, with a hinge enabling it to open and reveal the keys, touchpad and screen inside, although the buttons are static and cannot be depressed. The front screen has a static display mimicking a real phone, and the inside screen has a similar display depicting the car’s view of the attackers, which was added when on display at the Bond In Motion exhibition at Beaulieu Motor Museum.
With some minor marks from use on set, the phone remains in very good condition and is presented on a custom-made display stand. Dimensions (displayed): 16.5 cm x 16.5 cm x 13.5 cm (6 ½” x 6 ½” x 5 ¼”)
£5,000-7,000

DIE ANOTHER DAY (2002)

Made of stainless steel, the knife features a pointed, double-edged blade which is serrated along one side. The grip has holes machined into it to give it perfect balance. The blade is stamped “Stainless Rostfrei” at the base. The piece displays some scratching to the polished blade. However, despite this wear, it remains in good overall condition.
