All He’s Got To Do Is Act, Naturally.

Ringo has appeared in quite a few films in his time, and we have advertising posting for some of them going into our auction in August.

Candy Poster – Estimate £60-£80

Caveman Poster – Estimate £60-£80

 

Large Magic Christian Poster – Estimate £150-£200

The shirt off John’s back!

You may recall that last year we sold a piece of Paul’s shirt (click here for the blog post) for £220. This year we have a piece of shirt that used to belong to John Lennon.

As with the Paul item it comes with a note from the time from Freda Kelly, the fan club secretary, explaining about the origins of the piece of material.

The estimate for this item is £250-£300

Two Drummers

This page from an autograph book features signatures from both Pete Best and Ringo Starr.

It’s quite unusual to get both signatures together on one item.

The autographs are going up for sale in our auction in August and they carry an estimate of £100-£120

Have A Bath With Ringo

This cute “Soaky” bubble bath is Ringo shaped. Though to be honest if there’s anything inside it I doubt it would make for bubble bath time fun after all these years.

However the bottle is still highly displayable making it a fabulous piece for a collector’s shelf! It’s has an estimate of £80 - £100 and will be sold in our annual Beatles auction this August in Liverpool.

Rare Iron Door Newsletter

The Iron Door Club was situated on Temple Street in the city centre of Liverpool (there’s a plaque in place today showing its location).

It began as a jazz club but made the inevitable move to becoming a rock and roll venue, and the Searchers were the famous resident group.

It also produced a short lived newsletter for its patrons.

This is the front and back cover of issue number three dating from May 1964.

This excellent document of Merseyside music history is going up for sale in our August auction with an estimate of £50-£75.

1964 Liverpool Echo

This issue of the Liverpool Echo newspaper dates from 11th July 1964, the day after the band's triumphant return to the city for the Northern Premiere of A Hard Day's Night.

It features a full page photograph on the front and an eight page souvenir.

This copy is in our auction in August and carries an estimate of £20-£30.

A Letter From Freda

Back in the sixties when you wrote to a fan club more often than not you got a personal reply from an actual person rather than the modern day standard form letter.

If you wrote to the Beatles you may have received a reply from one of the fan club secretaries.

In this case the correspondent got a reply from the longest standing Fan Club secretary, Freda Kelly.

(address on the letter has been blurred for publication, it is clear on the actual item)

This letter will be sold at our auction in August and has an estimated value of £100-£130.

More Pictures
