JAMES BOND: DR. NO (1962) - Five Le Cercle Casino Plaques with £1 Chip - Five gambling plaques and a & pound;1 chip from the Le Cercle casino, the same style seen in Terence Young's Bond film Dr. No. MI6 agent 007 (Sean Connery) played baccarat chemin-de-fer against Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) at Ken Adams' set based on the Le Cercle casino.

Le Cercle casino loaned & pound;35,000-worth of its house plaques to EON Productions for the film under the supervision of two security guards. This lot consists of five plaques - one apiece in & pound;5, & pound;10, & pound;50, & pound;100, and & pound;500 denominations - manufactured of glossy plastic composites engraved "Le Cercle" with hot-stamped serial numbers, and a & pound;1 chip. While all originals from Le Cercle casino, it is not possible to know if they were part of the Dr. No production.

The & pound;5-pound plaque does not appear in the final cut. The set exhibits some bubbling, bending, and discoloration along the edges. Dimensions: (largest) 4.5" x 3" x 0.5" (11.5 cm x 7.75 cm x 1.5 cm)

Estimate: $7,000 - 14,000
