The Yeovil Collection - a huge private collection of film memorabilia with a bias towards James Bond films, as well as an extensive collection of 007 collectable toys - will go under the hammer at Aston’s Auctioneers later this month.
The collection, which has taken over 30 years to amass, is currently being catalogued, photographed and valued, and expected to reach between £60,000-£80,000.
The film memorabilia part of the collection will be sold as part of Aston’s Film & Music Memorabilia Auction on 19 September, followed by the toy part of the collection being sold on 21 September.
Items include a directors chair signed by Sir Roger Moore, which according to the vendor was used in his office at Pinewood studios. With so many famous names having signed the back, this piece of 007 history is expected to make between £800-£1200.
Continuing the theme a James Bond, a 007 P.A.K. (Personal Attack Kit), from 1966 is expected to make a similar amount.. The kit comes with a dart gun pistol, two darts, small palm gun and holster. Kayleigh Davies from Aston’s said: “This is a really fun item, and something that we’ve never seen before here at Aston’s. The items in this set can be found in quite a few other sets by Multiple Toy Makers but this is our favourite!”. It is expected to reach between £300-£400.
