I have several franklin mint bond plates to sell

these were my great uncles and do not have certificates
no scratches or damage visible on plates but all need a good clean due to dust SO MAY HAVE FEW SCRATCHES DUE TO AGE UNDER DUST but i dare clean them myself just incase i drop one :(
They are all EON PRODUCTIONS LIMITED, 007 PLATES , fine porcelain the franklin mint, Limited editions, gold round edges with 007 ,film name and james bond writen round gold rim - the signature i think reads Dick Baswick

I have the following plates to sell prefer as a set:
DR. NO plate no 99 4536
THUNDERBALL plate no 994716
GOLDFINGER plate no 6A3758
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE plate no 6A6874
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE plate no 9A2508
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER plate no 99A1229
I believe these to all be authentic as my great uncle worked in the factory and they were his - i have no love of bond or plates sorry :( my husband begs me to keep them but no thanks lol

Please feel free to email me for photos, etc
I know they're worth a pretty penny but not to sure on how much if anyone could make an offer or give me an idea i would appreciate it - the money raised will go to my son and 10% to a charity called eastbourne rabbit rescue which you can find on fb
thank you

    Moved to the correct forum.....

    Not sure what these sell for these days...I've seen full sets sell for £50 and some sets haven't sold at all :s
    They certainly haven't held their value anyway...good luck -{

    i got the name close some ppl are saying it says pick something lol
    anyway thanks for advice ppl :) just want them to go to good home and hopefully get some money for my son and the charity as do not want to pack them up when i move as dont want them damaged

    oh a quick one is the coa ona piece of paper on the printed thing on back on plate with plate number?
  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 27,768Chief of Staff
    They came in a polystyrene hexagonal box with a slip of paper as the COA...they are nice items...a little old-fashioned at the moment possibly...but the artwork is good...
    As I said....I've seen plenty of these not sell on eBay....and I've seen plenty sell for around £10 each...I think they cost about £35 each when they were new...

    I've seen these go for about £100GBP on Evilbay as a lot, but like Sir Miles said before price for whole lot can be around 50quid or even less. I wonder why they didn't keep their value as i also like the artwork on them.
    Sold mine ages ago to get more room.

    Good Luck with your sale :) -{

    Oh and you should post pictures for potential buyers :007)

    Unfortunately Franklin Mint stuff is notorious for actually losing value over the years
    I must be dreaming
  • fatefate Posts: 5MI6 Agent
    I know they do lose value as my great uncle worked there and ive ended up with over 300 plates ive shifted msot of them for about £1 a plate which is not too good really but i hate them lol just the artwork on james bond ones are exquisite and not horrible teddy bears like most of his plates (my great uncles for his gf at time) or stupid cpuntry scenes lol
    i thought maybe they were something special as james bond doesnt seem to be dying out anytime soon lol
