A set of 10 plaques and four chips from the Le Cercle casino from Terence Young's Dr. No. MI6 agent 007 (Sean Connery) first uttered his name - "Bond, James Bond" - as he played baccarat chemin-de-fer against Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) at the Le Cercle casino inside London's Les Ambassadeurs club.

The real-world Le Cercle loaned £35,000 of its house plaques under the supervision of two security guards to EON Productions to use in Ken Adam's set based on the historic casino. This lot consists of one £1,000, one £500, one £100, one £50, one £10, and five £5 plaques manufactured of glossy plastic composites and engraved "Le Cercle" with serial numbers hot-stamped by the casino, as well as two £5 and two £1 chips with matching engravings. £10 plaques of the style in this lot were later used in Richard Lester's A Hard Day's Night. The £1,000, £100, and £50 plaques exhibit visible bubbling and discoloration from the stamping process, and the set exhibits bending and scratching throughout from production. Dimensions: (largest) 5" x 3.5" x 0.5" (12.75 cm x 9 cm x 1.5 cm)

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
