Cavern Club Gargoyle For Sale

We do love the odd items that get brought in for our auction from time to time. And this is certainly odd.
This large "gargoyle" face adorned the wall of the Cavern Club during the time of Roy Adams' ownership of the venue (between 1969 and 1973) It is one of a handful that are believed to have hung in front of wall lights at the club.

This wonderful grotesque is going under the hammer at our Annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction in August with an estimate of £350-£450

Own A Piece of Abbey Road Carpet

I don't think there's much to add to this interesting piece of memorabilia that isn't already said in note of provenance in the picture. It's certainly something a bit different for a collector.

(Fenno Werkman worked on the 1991 John Lennon Imagine documentary.)

This small piece of Abbey Road history will be up for sale in out Annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction and carries an estimate of £40-£50.

Rock and Roll Stars In Liverpool

The Beatles were heavily influenced by American Rock and Roll stars in their early days and some of those stars popped over to play on this side of the pond in the 1960s.

Jerry Lee Lewis played the Tower Ballroom New Brighton in 1962. This large original poster advertising the event is up for sale in our auction in August with an estimate of £300-£400

Chuck Berry came to the Cavern Club in 1967 and this handbill for the event is estimated at £60-£80 when it goes up for sale in August.

A Trio of Original Cavern Handbills from the 1960s

Three fab handbills for the Cavern Club. Each one carries an estimate of £60-£80 in our forthcoming Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction.

Just looking at this line up for a 1965 all-nighter makes me wish I had a time machine!

Pete Best Four Signed Record Sleeve

After Pete Best parted company with the Beatles he signed to Decca Records with his new group The Pete Best Four. This fully signed Decca Records single sleeve will be placed up for sale in out Annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia auction in August where it will sell for an estimated £80-£100.

Beatles Tea Trays

This metal Beatles tea tray is a popular item. It looks brilliant on display with its bright colours.
This is an original one but they were later replicated so you do have to be careful. This one has the label on the reverse intact too. It's hoped that this item will sell for around £60-£80 in our annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction in August.

This is an unfinished metal flat of the replica version of the tray. It could easily be framed or displayed on a stand and would look as impressive as the original. It too is up for sale in our auction and has an estimate of £30-£40.

The way to tell the difference between an original tray and a later replica in the "Made In" wording at the bottom of the image. An original says Made In Great Britain and the replicas say Made In England.

Let It Be Ticket for Liverpool signed by Mike McCartney

On the 20th May 1970 there was a Gala Premiere for the film Let It Be at the Liverpool Gaumont and this lucky cinema goes not only got a ticket but also got the reverse signed by Mike McGear (Mike McCartney)

The ticket is being sold in our annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia auction this coming August and it carries an estimate of £60-£80

Original Cavern Club Stickers

Dating from around 1964 these two original triangular logo Cavern Club stickers are expected to reach between £20-£30 when they are sold in our annual Liverpool Beatles Memorabilia Auction this coming August. They make an excellent place to start a collection of Cavern Club memorabilia.
