CR'67 :: "Don't think that went unnoticed, Mr. Bond ..."

"... I see everything that goes on at this table.

A selection of chips and plaques from the '67 Casino Royale.
A gift from director Val Guest to an extra who appeared in the casino -- and other -- scenes.

The rectangular plaques appear across all the casino tables while the blue chips -- though not included in the Andress shot -- were used only for roulette.

Wowww, what a find, PoorMan, you really have a secret pipeline to Bond collectibles! Considering the context I'd say those are more significant props than chips from the more recent CR. Do those spectacles represent the ones worn by Peter Sellers? By coincidence, I was reading about CR 67 in the large Bond "Archive" book at bedtime last night, or rather, early morning.

Thanks, although I'd still like to find the green plaques ...

No, they're meant to be the silly cat-eye frames that Andress substitutes for Welles' glasses (hence the quote). I should have laid them flat so the shape would be more apparent.

There's a new Making of Casino Royale out late last year. A little dodgey on facts and sources but a great read with all manner of stories I hadn't heard before.
