This comes complete with a letter of authenticity, a Certificate of Provenance, a Letter of Provenance, from Regents Gallery Historic Memorabilia. 8 x 10 inches. Another set of these from O'Gorman recently sold on Catawicki a premier auction site for special objects. Catawicki announced that strands of hair belonging to the Beatles sold for more than $10,000. The hair, which yielded four times its estimated value, attracted the attention of online bidders from all over the world. Strands of hair from all four bandmates were cut on March 25, 1964, during the filming of "A Hard Day's Night." The locks were swept up by John O'Gorman, head of the movie studio's makeup department, which he later gave to his friends as a wedding anniversary present. During the auction, the hair was offered up as four individual lots. "Paul McCartney's hair was the most sought after, selling for $2,996," said Hoekstra. "Each lot contained four to five strands, which means McCartney's hair sold for approximately $600 per strand." "George Harrison's and Ringo Starr's lots were both sold to a bidder from France for $2,901 and $2,885, respectively. The hair belonging to John Lennon yielded only $1,385, which surprised us."
