Well, we are closely approaching the time when the film Goldfinger was released at the cinema 50 years ago (it is 50 years this month that the famous golf match was filmed at Stoke Poges). Some of us may be young enough to remember going to the cinema and watching the film first time round. I certainly can remember my dad taking me as a special treat to see it and since that day I have been a Bond fan. Even now my dad is bemused by my obsession with all things Bond, but as I tell him it’s his fault he started it. 
So I thought it would post some Goldfinger ephemera for AJB members young and old to enjoy and may have never seen before.
It would also be a nice touch if other AJB members contribute items or even memories of anything Goldfinger. -{

Lets hope EON get off their asses and do something special as they completely missed
From Russia with Love's 50th last year...unfreaking believable
Now you set the bar really high by posting your items, I am ashamed to list stuff that I have from that movie*
And as you have seen GF in the cinema back then - you must have whitnessed the Versailles contract signings also in person? :v
*GF Swatch Chrono anyone?
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
LMFAO ......... Cheeky young whippersnapper
Damn that makes me feel old. I started my Bond addiction by seeing Dr. No...at the theatre first time round.

Here's my homage at Stoke Poges in 2008.
Cheers, Tom
There's a 50th Anniversary Goldfinger Aston Martin DB5 special in this week's Classic Car Weekly for those interested.
Hope you managed to sink that ball Tom at that close range, or did the gold bar out you off
