Back in 1963 when The Beatles become famous and before they arrived in the USA The Beatles would go to their barbers in Liverpool. The song 'Penny Lane' mentions the barbers in the opening of the song. The lot comprises of 5 strands of hair obtained from a job lot of hair individually marked Ringo from the barber shop where The Beatles got their hair cut. 3 coa's included - one inside the presentation frame, one larger coa and another coa/letter included from another auction house that reads: The above lot comprises of four 9 cm's x 6 cm's cards with numerous strands of hair (at least 50 on each card) that have been sealed using cellophane/clingfilm. Each card has their individual names on paper clipped to the card and also their initials written on the front and backs of the cards in pencil. The original owner of these clippings (Vivian Mulhall) lived in Ontario, Canada and was sent them in 1963 after they were obtained from the barber shop where they used to have their hair cut. Presumably they were sent to her by Freda Kelly of the fan club but there is no way for us to corroborate this. We are confident that the hair and the cards date from the 60's due to the ageing of the paper clip, foxing on the card and the discolouration of the tape on the rear of the cards. These were purchased by the vendor as an estate auction following the recent death of Vivian Mulhall (maden name).

Very good.
