HOT? Beatles Auction -John Lennon Owned Cuff Links /Tie Clip Provenance & COA

John Lennon Personally Owned/Worn Cuff Links & Tie Clip Set - Monogrammed JL on all three pieces. This set was part of the numerous items gifted by John Lennon to talent promotor Irwin Pate in the 70's.

John and Irwin met in NYC in the early ('72 ish) and late 70's as the story goes though my research indicates this occurred in the mid 70's likely Aug-September of 1975. The later meeting occurred in Greenwich Village upon after John arranged to have several personal belongings sent over to him after learning about his memorabilia collection. John Lennon was known to be quite generous at most times despite the unfortunate reality with Cynthia and Julien. Also very interestingly, Lennon did have a large interest in shopping and owning material things as well being gifted things constantly but he did not attach much importance to them after acquiring them save for mementos, personal correspondence, musical instruments (and players such as his Mellotron & Jukebox) as well as family photographs, books, magazines, records and other personal items he would claim by writing his initials or name in, a habit that developed in childhood and became necessary upon traveling as a musician in early Quarryman, Moondogs, Beatles days which continued through his life. Acquiring one of those "claimed" or "initialed items" is rare but I do have a few of those also that may be offered here at some point or elsewhere.

So please keep on the lookout! I consider these items questionable. This is NOT one of those items! This item includes a live ink signed original letter of provenance from Clarine as well as a COA from GHRR. From my personal collection of John Lennon/Beatles memorabilia.

Please inquire if you are looking for something in particular also.
