Description

James Bond 007 Shooting Attaché Case - Open Box (Multiple Toy Makers, 1965). Produced during the height of the 1960s James Bond phenomenon, the 007 Shooting Attaché Case draws its inspiration directly from one of the franchise's most memorable gadget moments: the booby-trapped attaché case featured in From Russia with Love (1963). In the film, Bond's seemingly ordinary briefcase conceals hidden weapons and defensive mechanisms, perfectly encapsulating the series' blend of elegance and danger. That cinematic moment proved influential far beyond the screen, and by 1965 it had been translated into a toy that allowed young fans to step directly into the role of a Cold War-era secret agent. More than a generic spy accessory, this case reflects a specific, early Bond gadget that helped define the character's relationship with technology and ingenuity. The case shows overall significant wear, with pronounced scuffing and denting along the edges, substantial crushing at the corners, and heavy surface wear to the exterior, including rub, creasing, veining, fading, and general handling wear. The case is open, but the contents appear complete and unused, displaying only moderate age-related wear consistent with long-term storage rather than play. As shown in the accompanying image, the interior retains its original layout, with components properly seated and presenting as intact in arrangement. For collectors, this attaché case occupies a special place in the Bond toy canon, directly tethered to one of the series' most influential early films. It captures the moment when Bond's gadgets became as iconic as the character himself, shaping how audiences understood espionage on screen and in playrooms alike. Despite exterior wear, the preserved interior and apparent completeness allow the set's cinematic roots to shine through. It remains a striking artifact of mid-1960s pop culture, when a single prop could inspire an entire generation's idea of what it meant to be 007.
