Vår vän John Griswold (en av de allra främsta samlarna av Bond/Fleming föremål i världen) och författare till Ian Fleming’s James Bond: Annotations and Chronologies for Ian Fleming’s Bond Stories har tyvärr diagnoserats med Alzheimers. Pga. denna tråkiga nyhet har hans familj beslutat sig för att sälja hela hans samling av Ian Fleming och James Bond föremål.

OFFICIELL PRESSRELEASE

Plainville, CT - On Monday, October 4th, Winter Associates will offer for sale the John Griswold Ian Fleming-James Bond Collection.

Griswold is the author of the 2005 publication, Ian Fleming’s James Bond: Annotations and Chronologies for Ian Fleming’s Bond Stories. In 1963, the release of DR NO, the first James Bond movie, sparked John’s Griswold’s passion for Bond. The then ten-year-old Griswold soon became a fan of Ian Fleming’s series of novels. A native of Simsbury, CT, Griswold has continued to acquire Fleming and Bond-related items since the 1960s. Griswold’s diverse and extensive collection reflects his interest in the cultural impact made by Ian Fleming and the character of James Bond. This single-consignor collection is valued at almost $250,000 and is certain to delight Bond collectors all around the world.

Griswold’s literary collection includes the fourteen first editions of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels, a Fleming Centenary Edition published by the Queen Anne press (limited to an edition of 59), a first edition of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service signed by Fleming, as well as a 1907 book from Fleming’s own library along with its clamshell. The iconic image of Sean Connery holding a helmet and gun from You Only Live Twice painted by Robert McGinnis for the Bond movie posters is one of four original McGinnis works that Griswold once prominently displayed in his home but are now offered in this sale. Rare first-release posters, lobby cards, early toys, and signed photographs will round out the 280+ lot auction.

On the sale of her husband’s collection, Debbie Griswold elaborates:
“It is with sadness and nostalgia that I report that John’s health has declined significantly in the past two years. Early-onset Alzheimer’s has taken its toll on John, and he is no longer researching or collecting. As we move into the next chapter of our life, we must leave behind John’s collection. My hope is that John’s research materials and these items from the fascinating worlds of Ian Fleming and James Bond will bring the next owner/collector the same enjoyment and satisfaction that they brought to John.”

FSWL vill framföra en varm hälsning till Griswolds familj och önska dem lycka till med denna auktion samt styrka och mod inför den svåra och tuffa tid de nu har framför sig.
