LICENCE TO BID: RARE JAMES BOND MEMORABILIA TO HIT THE AUCTION BLOCK

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — An extraordinary opportunity to own authentic pieces of James Bond history has arrived. Propstore’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, taking place between November 14 – 17, 2024, will feature an exclusive selection of rare 007 lots, including items from some of the franchise’s most iconic films. From bespoke costumes to unforgettable props, this auction promises Bond fans a chance to bring home pieces from the world’s most famous spy.

• One of the standout items in this auction is the hand-painted poster art for Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by celebrated artist Robert McGinnis. This visually stunning piece from one of the most popular Bond films truly captures the glamour and thrill of Bond’s world, and is estimated at $187,500 – $375,000.

• Another notable item for Bond fans is the cockpit nacelle from Little Nellie, the famous autogyro from You Only Live Twice (1967), estimated at $93,750 – $187,500. Pieces of Little Nellie are not known to ever go into auction, making this an incredibly rare opportunity to own part of Bond’s most distinctive vehicle.

• For those drawn to Bond’s style and sophistication, the auction will feature Daniel Craig’s Tom Ford suit from Skyfall (2012), estimated between $25,000 – $50,000. This suit was originally sold by Christie’s in their “Sixty Years of James Bond: Part II – Online Auction” in 2022, having been consigned directly by EON Productions Ltd. Also on offer is the full-size Q-Boat driven by Pierce Brosnan in The World Is Not Enough (1999), estimated at $9,375 – $18,750 – a must-have for fans of Bond’s high-octane chase scenes.

• The auction also includes an array of other fascinating Bond memorabilia, from legal ownership of the UK “J 8OND” license plate, estimated at $37,500 – $75,000, to Paloma’s (Ana de Armas) hero dress and sandals from No Time to Die (2021), with an EON Certificate of Authenticity and an estimate of $15,000 – $30,000.
