Beatles signatures showed just how enduring their value is at Ewbank’s when one full set of autographs sold for a premium-inclusive £7,800.
They were written on a menu from a March 1965, B.O.A.C. (British Overseas Airways Corporation) flight. The menu had been specially made for the ‘Beatles Bahamas Special’, during the filming of Help! and was signed in person for the vendor who was a stewardess working in First Class on the flight from the Bahamas to JFK New York.
From a year later was a BOAC Junior Jet Club Log Book signed to the inside page by John Lennon and Ringo Starr, with a date 31st March 1966.
The vendor lived in Trinidad for some years. Her father was a pilot for BOAC and she and her brothers belonged to the Junior Pilots club. Every flight they took was recorded in their book. On the last journey home to London Ringo Starr and John Lennon were on board and they signed off the flight record instead of the pilot. It sold for £2,470.
“When it comes to Rock and Pop memorabilia, there are two markets: The Beatles and everyone else,” says Ewbank’s Partner and Head of Entertainment & Memorabilia, Alastair McCrea.
“The Beatles follow their own trajectory. Even though a vast wealth of memorabilia, including signatures, survives, values remain high. Rarity can play a part too, so, when you get something exceptional like these, with the signatures tied to specific Beatles events like the Beatles Bahamas Special, whose history is well recorded, it enhances the attraction.”
