Another Bond collection auction scheduled

U.K.-based Ewbank’s has scheduled an auction of the collection of Steve Oxenrider, the company announced on Instagram.

The auction will occur in two phases: Nov. 16 and 17 and spring 2024. An excerpt:

Steve Oxenrider is a retired educator from the USA, a world traveller and a life-long James Bond fan and collector. In 58 years, he has amassed thousands of Bond posters, stills, publicity and press material, toys and merchandising, programs, magazines, books, records and autographs.

According to the Ewbank’s website, here are some of the items to be auctioned.

—1965 Dr. No/From Russia With Love British poster. Estimate: £800 – £1,200, starting bid: £400.

—1964 Goldfinger British poster. Estimate: £5,000 – £8,000, starting bid: £2,400. Description: “This scarcely seen poster displays the rare style B design – James Bond (Sean Connery) and Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) projected onto a gold hand. This alternate design by Robert Brownjohn was produced exclusively for promoting the film in Ireland whereas the English poster included the gold-coated Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton). At the time, Irish censors were scandalised by the image of the bikini-clad Bond girl, resulting in this scarce yet similarly iconic ‘hand’ design.”

—From Russia With Love British advance poster. Estimate: £6,000 – £8,000, starting bid: £3,000. Description: “Joseph Caroff designed this 007 logo, commissioned by United Artists for press release letterheads for Dr. No (1962). The image was so well known that by the release of From Russia With Love, it was used alone for this country-of-origin British double crown.”
