    At the end of Goldeneye when Alec and Bond are in the control room, don't we see a close up of Bond's keys and wallet on the table when Alec picks up Bond's Seamaster? Or am I dreaming it (a bit like Dolly's teeth braces)?

    Well, it's clearly not Dalton's wallet:


    IMG_8546.jpg

    And, I don't think it's the GE Broz wallet either, at least not that one:


    IMG_8549.jpg

    Notice how the card holder slot openings in the GE wallet appear to run parallel to the folding axis. The card holder slot openings in the wallet on display run perpendicular to the folding axis. At least, that's the way I'm seeing it. Let me know if I'm seeing it wrong. If it isn't the GE wallet, that doesn't rule out it being a different Broz era wallet (or any other Bond era wallet), but it would make one think that it could be a QoS wallet since, I think, some of the cards in the wallet are from QoS? Don't we see both the Amex and the Universal Exports cards in QoS?

    Also SC has a wallet in DAF containing his PB Club card, that wallet has brass corner protectors. But not the same as TDs above. Coincidently I know a man who can supply the PB Cards (proper ones not cardboard laminated as seen on Ebay) :D

    Good catch man {[]. I completely forgot about that one. Here is a comparison pic:

    My understanding is that Globe Trotter and ST DuPont wallets/bill folds were just promotional pieces.

    My "money" is on the wallet being from QoS. But it could be from CR or SF. If we have learned anything though, it's that Bond's wallet type of choice is black leather.

    This post is just as much fun as the QoS ID picture tie discovery and the Spectre suitcase clothing posts. I love these little hidden gems that only the craziest of us would ever notice or care about. Myself included obviously :)) {[]

    I'll tell you one thing that wallet wasn't from Skyfall. If he had crammed a wallet in those tight Tom Ford suits he would have split his trousers in the middle of Whitehall :007)

    Oh that.. that's the QoS wallet of course :)) canoe2, you are the man! I literally watched through QoS when I got home for any signs of his wallet. I stared at DC's ass for a good 2 hours looking for any sign of a wallet in his pocket until I realized he put his Amex card back into his right front pocket (the pocket he pulls out his wallet from in the scene you show). I then went back through the movie and found only one sign of a wallet shape in his pocket, but totally skipped over that part of the scene you found it in! :)) I feel obligated to share my findings:

    1. He seems to like keeping his phone in his back pocket:


    IMG_8576.jpg

    2. He seems to be keeping his wallet in his right front pocket at Mathis' villa:

    IMG_8557.jpg

    3. DC has an envious derrière:

    So your conclusion to all this research is dc has a great ass!
    You should be keeping your eyes on the money, and off his perfectly formed arse. :D

    It's a collective sickness...

    Is there any possibility the wallet was supposed to be used but never made it onto the screen, like the grey Spectre polo?

    Very interesting, forgot about that scene - it looks really small and thin but I could be wrong with my poor eyes and little footage!!!

    So I guess the next step is to find out if it is the one in the exhibition - Pete and a few others think the one in the exhibition is the same as the one pictured in the Japanese Archive book labelled as a GE prop. Anybody got the rare book and can provide a quick pic to compare??

    The one in the exhibition looks a bit too big but I guess hard to say for sure. The one in his hand in QoS one doesn't look too much bigger then a TF cardholder kind of thing

    Great detective work! -{ :))

    Unbelievable! I've been using the QOS as my daily wallet for over a year now. :)

    Quick, name the Ian Fleming story where Bond switches an item from butt to front pocket, and why...

    I was going from memory when I said about the archive book, I forgot that I had a copy on a memory stick (Thanks Ed x) But this don't look the same either, the one on display doesn't seem to have the extra card slots in the middle.

    Very interesting indeed, guess the exhibition wallet could indeed be from QoS!!! Great stuff {[]

    Some better pics. Looks more like a leather covered money clip than a wallet. Or one of those money clip/card holder hybrids. Lots of cash exposed. He also takes it out of his front pocket in the scene.

    He kind of rotates it in his hand and it indeed looks small but poss thick as has a wad of cash in it.

    Any wallet in Skyfall we may have missed? I can only think of the scene where he is drinking the next morning in Turkey, grabs a bottle and puts money on the bar but dont think wallet involved

    Mind you the width of the wallet is not much more then the width of a credit card, unlike the Goldeneye Pic Pete uploaded which has additional width next to the credit card space

    True, I've still never seen one for sale in stainless though. I put feelers out and keep being offered gold versions of that watch. This wallet though could be like those blue brozzer glasses and just picked up in a local store?

    Does anyone know if TF did a moneyclip/credit card holder for the 2007/08 season? Based on the pics and the way the money is folded and showing, I don't think it's a wallet/billfold. More something like this:

    Also s.t dupont maybe? They did that 007 branded money clip card holder just before cr I think?
    And globetrotter recently did a bond wallet. There has to be something out there!

    would be surprised if it wasn't by TF. It seems like in QOS Bond just walked into the men's department at TF and said "give me everything".

    TF was pretty much in their early stages back then wasnt they?? Did they do wallets back then?

    No branding anywhere also which is odd unless that hologram is covering it

    Yes I think tf had been on a hiatus for a few years since leaving gucci, I think 2007/2008 was his first collection. As for doing wallets..... God knows!
