Welcome to My Modest 007 Collection. I have been collecting "stuff" associated with James Bond for decades now. About one-third of my collection is currently on display in the Bond Room at my house in eastern North Carolina. There is not enough space to display it all in the way I have wanted. Now it is time to turn to the internet to show my 007 “stuff” to all my friends around the world.
As you will see, my Collection is rather eclectic. I have acquired the things that interest me, and I have passed on those that do not. I am not a 'completist' for the most part. The size of my Collection for any particular movie does not necessarily indicate its popularity with me; I am a huge fan of a couple of Daniel Craig's movies, but most of the collectibles associated with his films are clothing-related and that's just not my thing. Accordingly, his area in my Collection is sparse. In addition to the "things" I have collected I am sharing a few of the Bond-associated memories of trips I have taken; I have purposely kept these to a minimum and have inserted them only where I felt they would be appropriate and interesting.
Many Bond collectors I know have much larger and more extensive collections than mine; by comparison, mine is indeed modest. Other collectors have only a few items. Many collectors and prop makers will recognize their talented work in my collection. My exhibition on these pages is not meant to be competitive or boastful; it is a celebration of finding items that are of interest and collecting them if you are able, honoring the works of artistic people, preserving the items for a fate that is unknown, and sharing them with fellow collectors. Some of the items in my Collection are more valuable than others, but I treasure them all.
While I do own each and every collectible displayed on this website, I wish to make clear that this is a fan display only. I make no money from this website, and the rights to exploit any movies, books or other items referred to herein rest with the respective owner(s) of those rights. I have no rights to any of the images taken from the films.
Thanks for taking the time to navigate through my Collection. I hope you enjoy seeing what I have collected. Feel free to drop me a note through the Contact Me page if you have any questions or comments.
