BOSTON — The black wool double-breasted suit jacket that Ringo Starr wore in the 1965 Beatles movie “Help!” has sold at auction for more than $46,500.
Boston-based RR Auction announced Friday that the jacket with soft gray vertical pinstripes, six black buttons, and the name “Ringo” sewn inside was part of the online Marvels of Modern Music auction that closed Thursday. RR said the buyer is “a top rock ‘n’ roll collector in Rhode Island.”
Other items were a Hamer guitar custom-made for Johnny Ramone for $50,000; a signed Jimi Hendrix Experience album cover for $31,000; and a signed Janis Joplin photograph for almost $ 19,000.
