John Lennon's Toilet Fetches Thousands At Auction
The press is buzzing over another big ticket sale of unusual rock and roll memorabilia. An ornate toilet bowl from one of John Lennon's English homes fetched almost 15-thousand U.S. dollars at auction on Saturday. The toilet was just one of more than 300 lots of Beatles memorabilia at the 33rd Annual Beatles Convention in Liverpool, England. The UK's "Daily Telegraph" originally reported that the porcelain "loo" was a fixture in the late Beatle's Berkshire residence. The item had gone to the blocks with an estimated value of 750 to one-thousand pounds or roughly eleven-hundred-60 to 15-hundred-50 American dollars.
It was just last fall that a lot from an Elvis Presley Auction in Chicago similarly raised a few eyebrows. That was when an anonymous bidder paid over 18-thousand-dollars for a clump of the late "King" of rock and roll's hair. |
