Lot 31: Beatles Harmonicas Original "Error" Boxes (7)

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $300.00
Winning Bid: $632.31
Price Realized: $755.61
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Collection of 7 Beatles Harmonica boxes -- known to collectors for the screw-up on the box top. Issued by the M. Hohner Co. in the mid-'60s, the boxes and harmomicas (not included here) were attached to a 7 x 11" open-up display card with a group shot of the boys on the front and songs and music on the inside. The screw-up was that Paul McCartney's facismile signature is under George Harrison's image, and vice versa. While the correct version is actually rarer today, due to the large number of the mistake boxes that went out before the correction was made, the "originals" are still a must-have for collectors. All 7 here are NRMT with almost no damage either on the exterior or yellow interior. There are no Beatles mistakes, only Beatles "rarities."
