HONEY WEST TITLE CARDS

Amazing Artifact Alert: Auction for the original title sequence cards from Honey West! Spy Vibers with really deep pockets might be interested in purchasing an incredible batch of 10 photo/title cards used for the title sequence of Honey West, which ran between September 16, 1965 and April 8, 1966. From the eBay listing: "The title sequence was originally designed by Format Productions, Inc., the company responsible for the title sequence in "I Spy", "Hee Haw", and other notable television shows of the 1960s and 1970s. The photographs include several shots of [Anne] Francis, both in action and posed for danger, some with cutout photo overlays, whiteout, etc., to achieve the look needed for the title sequence. Also present are two photos of John Ericson (Honey's assistant Sam Bolt), and one kaleidoscopic shot of a criminal in sunglasses who is laughing maniacally. One photograph, shot and sized differently than the others, is the striking photo of Honey West's pet ocelot Bruce, the image that ends the show's title sequence." Some are signed by Anne Francis. So cool! These kinds of production artifacts are so thrilling to see. I'd love to include them in my upcoming Spy Vibe book (any Spy Vibe benefactors out there, please?). More info on eBay or at their rare bookshop, Royalty Books. Enjoy!
