This is a rare opportunity to own this highly sought-after movie-inspired prop satellite control cassette tape as used by the villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld! These reproduction props are professionally printed using the best quality materials. They are created using traditional film and television art department techniques for added authenticity and so are perfect for on-screen or display use.
Important Note: There are two styles of audio cassette available, one option uses a period-accurate off-white vintage cassette as used in the film (now rather rare) and the other uses a more contemporary white cassette. The case and double-sided 'World’s Greatest Marches’ insert for both styles however is the same.
Option 1: Contemporary White Cassette - This style uses a clean white blank audio cassette protected by a black and clear plastic case complete with insert as pictured. This is a cheaper option for those wishing to display the case in a closed state.
Option 2: Vintage Off-White Cassette - This style uses a used vintage cassette from the correct time period like the ones used in the film. As the cassettes date back from the 1970s they may show signs of age and/or usage, they are rather old and the potential for evidence of ageing along with decades of life should be expected. It is also worth noting that as they began life as blank tapes decades ago so some may have the recording safety tabs removed and more-than-likely will have recordings on them (our only tape deck was damaged whilst being used as set dressing years ago and so we unfortunately cannot check or wipe them!) The cassette is protected by a black and clear plastic case complete with insert as pictured. Due to the rarity and cost of these vintage cassettes we are likely to only ever have the opportunity to create a handful of these so they should probably be regarded as a limited edition!
Trivia: During Bond's briefing with M at the beginning, M refers to Bond having just been on holiday, and later quipped how the Service had managed well during Bond's absence. These were inside jokes referring to Sir Sean Connery's absence in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
