Bond Vilains exhibit / Washington DC

themanfrombrussels

Hello to all,

i'm preparing a trip to Washington DC in order to visit the Imperial Spy museum and the 50 years of Bond Vilains exhibit .
that's the easy part of the plan .

now i need some help from local collectors or folks who have been there recently .

any good flea markets ? antique malls or toy shops specialised in vintage toys ?
i will be looking of course for vintage/60s 007 and U.N.C.L.E toys , but also 60s pop culture toys /merchandise for my personal collection .

i'm planning to travel from the October 25th and returning on November 2nd , so if you are aware of any toy shows or anything interesting in the area , please do not hesitate to get in touch .

Thanking you in advance

You must go to the pop culture museum in Baltimore which is very close. Amazing place! I will try to find the link....

Hi David,

thank you . I should really get my geography book out of the attic , i did not know Baltimore was so close to Wahington .
Geppis museum was my on list of places to visit in the US, from time to time i treat myself with something coming from Hakes - well maybe once a year
that news is now making my day .

best regards from Brussels

Feel free to PM me if you visit Baltimore, I can give you some pointers. Off the top of my head, The Quintessential Gentlemen is a good spot to visit for a haircut and straight razor shave.

The law enforcement museum is close to the spy museum, people often visit them in tandem. I enjoy "off the record", a bar in the Hayes Addams hotel next to the Whitehouse - some interesting and high-flying people frequent there. There is also a rather nifty vodka bar, a friend of mine took me there before seeing Skyfall.

Is that a permanent exhibit or will that rotate out of the spy museum at some point ?

Bond Collectors' Weekends

Exhibit on through at least Nov. 2014--any interest in a group visit?

+1 for Off the Record. Fantastic place to have a drink.
