A set of letters from a sign for the Albert R. Broccoli 007 soundstage at Pinewood Studios. After filming for Casino Royale ended, the sound stage caught fire for the second time in its history, on July 30, 2006, while the set for the Venetian piazza was being dismantled. These letters were taken down during the fire, and were later salvaged from a skip.

Made of polished aluminium, the letters consist of a giant "007" logo, including the gun emblem, with 11 smaller letters from the text which read "Albert R. Broccoli" and "Stage". Signs of fire damage remain, and several letters are missing. The lot exhibits several marks, with significant warping to the bottom edge of the "7" and one "0". Dimensions (largest letter): 185 cm x 135 cm x 15 cm (72¾" x 53" x 6"); (smallest letter): 20.5 cm x 18.5 cm x 2.5 cm (8" x 7¼" x 1")

This lot is oversized, and shipping charges will be significant, especially if the lot is shipping internationally. Crating and other special handling may be required depending on destination. Shipping charges are solely the buyer's responsibility; please ask any questions prior to bidding and see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
