bottle, which featured as a prop in the legendary group's
1967 Penny Lane video, was signed by John Lennon, Paul
McCartney and George Harrison.
It's estimate is set between US$15,000 and US$25,000,
'but we think it will go for a lot more,' according
to Gary Sohmers of ItsOnlyRocknRoll.com,
In 1967 the Beatles produced two music videos to promote
the double-A-side single, Penny Lane and Strawberry
Fields Forever. The video for Penny Lane, shot in a
park near London, features a clip of the four sitting
at a round table with candelabras, flowers, glasses
and a champagne bucket containing the open bottle of
Krug 1952. At one point in the video, John overturns
the table, scattering the props.
A fan on location watching the filming salvaged the
empty bottle and asked the Beatles if they could sign
it. The autographs have been verified by an authority
on Beatles signatures.
