Collecting Bond Paper Props

qbvi · March 2010

I hope we have many contributors to this thread to discuss paper based Bond props, collecting the rare vintage material or even making your own paper based props.

Here's a few pictures of what I have to kick this thread off....

Some Diamonds Are Forever Props: actual hovercraft ticket for the Dover Amsterdam run during the 1970s, photo of Shady Tree, Dr Metz ID card, Slumber Inc envelope

YOLT stationery, AVTAK Zorin cheque, Octopussy Khamal cheque

Literary Bond Props: Fleming's famous Iron Crab letter, postcard of original Scott's restaurant favoured by Fleming in London's Haymarket, DN Audubon Society invitation (in Doctor No novel Dr No was killing the pink flamingoes to the ire of the Audubon Society), Dominoes letter to Bond from Pan's Thunderball novel, Gardner's Bond smokes H Simmon's cigarettes

FRWL mission props - these are examples of what might be found inside Bond's attache case on the Istanbul assignment. Orient Express 1963 dated papers (double-sided) and 1963 timetables (double-sided and sourced from library archives), vintage advertisements (double-sided), SPECTRE cabinet du voyeur photos of Bond making love with Tanya, photos of Bond and Tanya, photos of Tanya taken by Bond with the Rolleiflex on the Istanbul ferry, the famous Tanya signed photo in Terence Young's hand, vintage Turkish watermarked currency as used by Bond to pay off train conductor, (Kerim Bey's cigarette holder - I know not paper), Bond's passport photo taken for the 1st two films, the Somerset passport, postcards and code sheets printed on thin quickly dissolvable paper.

FRWL PanAm Airlines vintage 1963 timetable sheet (double sided) for Bond's 8.30am flight to Istanbul - fits in bond's passport

Everything you need to fill up your Q Branch or SD Studio's attache case.

Thought you might like those...given your terrific "King of Bond Props" and your perchant for Connery items.

FRWL is my favorite Bond movie; it is a pleasure to look at those props.
Could you fill us on how you made or collected them?

Regards,

Tecolote

The FRWL props are great! If you could somehow provide PDF's of some of them that would be great...

The QOS props are really cool. I don't remember how Strawberry's CD fits in though?

Actually there are now quite a few of Invitations featured in the movies over the years.

Besides the Eco Park invite, there is the Brosnan Carver Media Invite and the Eurocopter Invite. Probably a few others too, but not immediately obvious right now.

The Eco Park Invite should have some "glitter" to the background....look closely at the picture

QB…

I can’t se the QOS invitation up front but in the movie the text and logos are elevated…. Makes it a bit more challenge to make it…

Anyway as I have said before – nice – thanks for posting -{
