The Royal flatbed typewriters were the only unique design that the Royal company put on the market. But when it came to work horses, the company introduced one price winner after the other for decades. And from the 1930s on, the line included portables. The Quiet De Luxe was the flagship for many years.

In the late 1940s Royal had the Quiet De Luxe redesigned by Henry Dreyfuss who came up with the model shown on this page. It is not the kind of machine that deserves a place in a museum for antique typewriters, except that this one is... made of gold. Not solid gold, but plated.

The gold-plated machine was produced in a limited edition and sold at a considerable price. Apparently, one of them was owned by author Ian Fleming.

Ian Fleming, the father of James Bond

Ian Fleming was born in 1908. He was a British writer who wrote books about an English spy called James Bond with the codename 007.
The 00 stands for that he’s got license to kill anyone, anytime, anywhere.
At the time of his writing the cold war was at its peak.The cold war was also one reason why his books became as successful as they did.
Ian Flemming wrote twelve books about the spy James Bond.
In 1964 Ian Fleming died and at that time only two James Bond films had been produced. It was the movies that made James Bond famous worldwide.

James Bond Actors

There’s been five actors playing Mr Bond more than one time:
Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig
Many people have different opinions which of them is the real Bond.
Most of them say it’s Sean Connery because he was first playing Bond.
I think Pierce Brosnan is best as James Bond

James Bond

James Bond works for the British government and gets his missions from them.
The stories about James Bond are all about how he tricks all his enemies and gets all the nice women. His enemies are often Russian criminals.
This seems to be a common action story but the Bond films are special.
James Bond is never stressed or scared. Even if he is in a very critical situation like jumping after an aeroplane which is falling to the ground climb into the plane and fly away with it.

This seems to be very dangerous but for Mr Bond it’s a piece of cake.
At his base in London somewhere he’s got this guy who helps him called Q. He’s participated in almost every bond movie.
He produces lots of gadgets in his laboratory, which are supposed to help Mr Bond on his missions. In every film he gets a new car from Q.
Q always tells bond to be careful with the car and he’s like yeah yeah and crashes the car in every film.
We also have this woman called moneypenny, who seems to be in love with Mr Bond but never gets him.

Another classical character in the bond films is one of his enemies who is a very big man called Jaws. He’s got metal teeth and is very strong but he’s not very smart so he always screws up and falls out of aeroplanes without a parachute but always survives. He never says anything and no one knows why. One exemption for that is in the film moonraker when he becomes friend with Mr Bond says cheers with a champagne glass in his hands.
Mr Bond also has some things he says in every film like “Hi my name is Bond, James Bond” and “I want dry martini shaken not stirred”.
All these things are classical for almost every bond film.
Some other classical things in the bond films are all the sponsors that want their names in the film. In the early movies Mr Bond always drove an Aston Martin car but in today’s movies he drives a BMW.
He’s always got an Ericsson cellphone and he always drinks Bollinger Champagne.

Why did these companies pay money to have their name in the film?
Some people have Mr Bond as an idol and they want to be alike him and hopefully they will use the same champagne or the same car as he does.
That may sound very farfetched but they actually make more money out of this then they pay for having their name in the films.

James Bond, the Author
The Origin of the Name James Bond

"I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name I could think of. James Bond seemed perfect."
-Ian Fleming

While he may be the world's most famous, glamorous secret agent, let's face it, his name is pretty dull. In a way it is fitting, Fleming achieved exactally what he wanted to with the name. He actually found it sitting on his bookshelf in the author of a book entitled "Bird's Of The West Indies." And like that, history was made!

Birds of the West Indies bok
James Bond (January 4, 1900 – February 14, 1989) was a leading American ornithologist whose name was appropriated by writer Ian Fleming for his fictional spy James Bond.
