Daniel Craig’s “Unwashed” 007 Swim Trunks Sell For $72,000.00 At Auction

"Last Friday Christie’s Auction House in London auctioned off 50 pieces of James Bond memorabilia with the monies raised going to several charities including UNICEF as one of many events celebrating Global James Bond Day, the 50th anniversary of the first screening of Dr. No.
