ULTIMATE STRAWBERRY FIELD COLLECTIONALL 4 BEATLES CLOTHING DISPLAY
BOXED COIN/BRICK SET
STRAWBERRY FIELD LEAF SECTION
"STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER BOOK" + CD
LARGE METAL STRAWBERRY FIELD GATE STRUCTURE
A unique 3 1/2 inch x 5 3/4 inch by 1 inch thick, clear lucite holder with colorful graphics (The Beatles performing Strawberry Fields Forever from their video of the song) and a 35mm film frame of the SFF video. The display contains actual swatches of material taken from clothing worn/owned by all four Beatles. I cannot offer a large swatch of material at this price, but you can be assured that this is a unique display. Rarely will you get the chance to own a piece of clothing from all 4 Beatles at one time! This display comes with a coa card on each swatch, brick, and film frame, It comes with a velvet like, zipper case for storage. In 2009 my dream came true when I took a trip to the Strawberry Field gates and while there I picked up a couple of leaves from inside the field behind the gate. One leaf has been cut to make this display.
JOHN LENNON-swatch from a pair of black trousers/pants worn by John in 1967. Originally acquired in the early 80's directly from Gordon Millings whose father was the owner of Millings & Son tailor shop. This was the famous tailor shop used by the Beatles, many movie stars, and other important music figures. Acquired through the British auction house of Cooper & Owen. The trousers have the original Millings and Son bevo label and the additional label with hand-written notes with a "John Lennon July 1967." After careful inspection and consideration it was determined that a small fragment of grey material (left by the tailor) could be removed without compromising the integrity of the trousers. The material was removed from the waist lining area. The removal was done by a professional seamstress.
PAUL MCCARTNEY-swatch from a dark gray, black velvet collar, suit coat worn by Paul circa 1963-64. Acquired through the British auction house of Cooper & Owen. The suit coat/jacket has the tailor label removed and was probably donated to a charity, at some time, as the jacket is autographed twice (lapel area and interior liner). After careful inspection and consideration it was determined that a small fragment of material (left by the tailor) could be removed without compromising the integrity of the coat. The material was removed from the interior seam area. The removal was done by a professional seamstress.
GEORGE HARRISON-an actual swatch from an orange, green, brown, and silver pailsey pattern 1960's, India style, kurta worn by George Harrison in India. This TWO-piece kurta was acquired by George from the Westwood, California Sat Purush Boutique. After careful inspection and consideration it was determined that a small swatch of material (from the interior pocket area) could be removed without compromising the integrity of the garment. The removal was done by a professional seamstress.
RINGO STARR-swatch from a white cotton tie, owned by Ringo Starr and donated to charity. Ringo signed the tie in the late 70's, early 80's era. After careful inspection and consideration it was determined that a small fragment of material (on the interior liner) could be removed without compromising the integrity of the tie. The removal was done by a professional seamstress.
