Just Purchased This Set

Hi all!

Just wanted to share with you that I just purchased this set. It comes with the original concert program and a letter of provenance from the original owner stating how she received the signatures at the Beresfold Hotel in Birchington, Kent in 1963 (during a Winter Gardens concert).

Allegedly, it was a warm summer day and she went to buy a beach ball and inflatable floats with all her friends and the Beatles themselves at a local Woolworth store. They proceeded to spend the afternoon with the Beatles at the hotel pool.

The original receipient is now deceased, but I purchased the autographs from her brother. Seems like a really nice guy and he also threw in the Parlophone pressing of With the Beatles he bought in 1963.

A picture can be found below. I plan on getting everything matted and framed together by our friends at Museum Framing in Alexandria VA, which is conveniently just a few miles from me.

Interesting story.

What is the signed item and how big is it? Looks like a card or card inlay and also looks to be large.

Could you photograph it flat or scan it? I'm sure other members would appreciate it and particularly on those who could comment on likely authenticity (looks pretty good to me but others are better qualified to judge).

Thanks. It's on a 5 x 9 album page, although as you can see, the Beatles signed on only one side of the crease, making it about 5x4 for the purposes of matting.

I will posts better photos as soon as I receive it in the mail!
