Five gambling plaques from the Le Cercle casino, the same style seen in Terence Young's Bond film Dr. No. MI6 agent 007 (Sean Connery) first uttered his name - "Bond, James Bond" - while playing baccarat chemin-de-fer against Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) at Ken Adams' set based on the Le Cercle casino inside London's Les Ambassadeurs club.

Le Cercle casino loaned 35,000 pounds-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 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500-pound denominations - manufactured of glossy plastic composites engraved "Le Cercle" with hot-stamped serial numbers. These are original plaques from Le Cercle casino, but it is not possible to know if they were part of the Dr. No production or not. While the 5-pound plaque does not appear in the final cut, 5-pound and 10-pound plaques of this style were later used in Richard Lester's A Hard Day's Night.

They exhibit 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); (smallest): 2.25" x 1.5" x 0.5" (5.75 cm x 4 cm x 1.5 cm)

Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
