The card having been taken from a packet of Wolsey 'X' Briefs - taken from John Lennon's & George Harrison's hotel bedroom during their stay at The Royal Pier Hotel in Weston Super Mare, July 1963. The band later signed the card the following day. Their autographs all to one side, undedicated. A handwritten note of provenance is supplied with the card, which was written by the vendor just a few days after meeting the band. It reads, in part: 'Went down Weston on the Wednesday morning (July 24th 1963)...found out what hotel Beatles staying at by buying two chaps ten fags each. Went to Hotel (Royal Pier) in afternoon. Got Paul's, Fred's & Les Chadwick's autographs (from Gerry & The Pacemakers). Gerry, John & George came out but were in a hurry... chap on duty at door left in car so as Fred (Marsden) had told us Beatles' bedroom number was 49 about six of us went up. Room open, went in, no-one there, ward-robe open, Bible open on one of the two beds, letter for George on dressing table and record cover with John's name on in wardrobe so must have been John & George's bedroom. I took big card label from one of a pile of Wolsey Cotton Rib X Briefs!! Nearly got Police on us because we went up to bedroom. Went to show (2nd performance) - fab!!! They recognised us especially Paul & Fred. Went down Weston on the Friday morning (July 26th)...went straight to Hotel. Got rest of Beatles and Pacemakers' autographs....got label from pants signed by Beatles. Paul knew I'd been up in bedroom!!... They're FAB!' The note is written on the back of a Kodak Film photograph slip. Two period reprinted photographs (taken from the originals listed in a previous lot) are included in this lot which depict Starr and Harrison signing autographs outside the hotel, taken by the vendor (copyright is NOT included in this sale of these images).Condition; the card slip shows signs of wear, with some creases and a small tear to one side which goes through the tail of McCartney's 'Y'. Harrison's autograph features to the top and is a little faint - Starr, McCartney and Lennon are bold. The piece should be considered with wear, but would display well and would benefit from framing and conservation.A truly unique piece of Beatles memorabilia, with an important local connection. From the Sandra Woodruff (née Blaken) collection
