Lock of John Lennons hair for auction
Published December 11th, 2007
John Lennon gave Betty Glasow, the Beatles’ hairdresser, the lock of hair in a copy of his book “A Spaniard in the Works.” In the dedication he wrote, “To Betty, Lots of Love and Hair, John Lennon.” On Wednesday, fans will have the chance to bid on the hair and other autographed photos and Beatles memorabilia when they go up for auction in Worthing, in southern England.
The book - with the hair still inside - could fetch as much as US$6,200, said Nick Muston, director of Gorringes auction house.
Other items in the sale include signed photographs of the Beatles dedicated to Glasow, including one where George Harrison signed the photo George (Dandruff) Harrison.
