John Lennon's dope box and pipe up for auction

John Lennon's old dope box and pipe go under the hammer in an auction of Beatles memorabilia later this month.

http://www.ananova.com/images/web/35010.jpg

They are among the items up for sale at Cooper Owen's Beatles Sale on November 19.

The dope box, which was used by Lennon during the 1960s, is valued at £20,000 -25,000.

The pipe is valued at between £400 and 500.

Other items up for auction include two never before heard tapes of Lennon which were made in 1970 while he was staying at the home of Yoko Ono's ex-husband Tony Cox in Denmark.

Must be. I just took another look and it's not his chin or mouth either. The hands just jumped out at me first; I have drawn them, and those in the picture don't look right.

random thought

When it comes to things like a dope box and pipe...how do they know it belonged to John for sure?

That's terrible, I wouldn't see any of my Beatles stuff on-line, some of it is just too special. I would never give some of things I have up.

I wouldn't mind having that box to store certain...things.

[angelgodiva]

Me neither. Like Magill said, it would hold a lot of...things.

Are these those same tapes from the guy in Denver? And what on earth was John doing at Tony's to begin with??

John and Yoko used to go there to see Kyoko, Yoko's daughter, until her father ran off with her and disappeared.

[angelgodiva]

I would love to own those things, although I haven't smoked any pot in a few years. I wonder why the bowl is going so cheap compared to the box?
And who is that holding them up? Those do not look like John's hands to me.
I have a pair of his prescription sunglasses that he left behind once, but I would never sell them. I used to have a second, non prescription pair, but I actually gave them to a friend recently. For some reason, I thought that he might like her to have them.

I doubt it'd be for the benefit of either.

I wouldn't mind owning them, too. It's been several years since I smoked any pot, but I'd use it for other things.

I would just want them because they were things that he handled every day, you know, when he had them.The same reason I treasure the few little trinkets I do have that once belonged to him and were left behind at my house. There's no way I would ever sell any of those things.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

[bitagirl]

I'd think it'd be neat just to own something that belonged to John. I wouldn't neccessarily do anything with it either...
