Beetles or Beatles?

I adore this sweet dish! It's a lovely design featuring musical beetles. It's obviously an item created to appeal to Beatles fans in the 60s without using any Beatles images and logos. I often find these sort of things far more interesting than the NEMS licensed items.

Estimate - £40-£50

It's not just the Cavern and Beatles...

Items from the Cavern and referring directly to the Beatles are obviously of most interest to Beatles collectors, but there is also a lot of interest in other Merseyside Venues and groups.

This Iron Door membership card is valued at between £30-£40

This collection of club items is valued at around £20-£30. I love the name of the "New Shaking Around Club" - Do you shake, rock or roll?

This is a small sample of around a dozen Merseyside band business cards which are all together in one lot in the auction. They are estimated at £30-£40 (I wonder what the Bilbo Baggins Band sound like?)

This small collection of Merseyside concert tickets carries an estimate of £40-£50.

Dating from the late 60s this One Million Apple cheque was sent out to promote the company and has an estimated value of £100-£120

We all ride on a Yellow Submarine?

I love it when I get to see novelty Beatles items I've never seen before.

This Yellow Submarine bicycle seat is one of those items!

It was made by Huffy in the USA and dates from 1968 to tie in with the film.
Not sure you would want to use it as an actual bicycle seat nowadays as it carries an estimate of £700-£800.

Liverpool Institute School Motto Patch.

It's always great to have items that link directly to the venue of the auction.

We already have a Liverpool Institute Book in the auction, and now there's another item linked with the school which is now the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts.

This patch which probably would have been proudly worn on a school blazer features the School's motto

It translates as - "Not for ourselves, but for the whole world were we born." (The phrase is also used in Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio.)

Estimate - £40-£50.

Reproduction Beatles Lamp from the 1970s

The Beatles were heavily merchandised in the 1960s and in the 1970s lots of fake merchandise emerged, one assumes to cash in on any market for original items. Occasionally these items turn up and while worth only a fraction of the price of the 1960s items they are sometimes of interest to collectors.

This charming Beatles table lamp is a reproduction item from the 1970s.

It carries an estimate of £50 -£60

Had it been a lamp from the 1960s it may well have been worth around £300!
