Rare You Only Live Twice / A Fistful of Dollars UK Double Crown poster

Last week an incredibly rarely seen poster made its way onto the auction market, and for a great deal of the week maintained its original opening price of £50.00. The poster, the 20”x30” UK Double Crown was based here in the United Kingdom. The poster featured a United Artists double bill showing of You Only Live Twice / A Fistful of Dollars. However, the auction shot up in price during the final seconds this evening and finished at a crunching £246.00 ($315.43). The poster’s price is probably reflective of the two very popular franchises featured. Doubling up the Dollar trilogy alongside the 007 Bond series obviously draws in two different sets of fans and once battle commences, the price was only going to go one way.
Because of its rarity, we have never had the opportunity to feature this poster here on the Archive, until now. The actual poster did show some signs of wear and tear along with some pin holes. Nevertheless, I have attempted to clean it up to some degree for display purposes.
