Unofficial UK Beatles jewellery item: a 1963 -1964 photo pendant with 16 inch chain. 

Although not official, this item is well known. It uses four Dezo Hoffman photos that were licensed directly from the photographer by Blackpool Publishers and used to produce Topstar postcards, photocards, posters and calendars, so the item was most probably produced by or sublicensed by that company. 

It was being advertised in various newspapers by Williams & Simpson of Liverpool by 13 December 1963. Pic 5 shows an example of the pendant on its original display card. (Pic 5 is included here for information only and is not part of this auction. The pendant offered here does NOT come with a backing card.)

This item seems to have passed the compilers of the various Beatles memorabilia and price guides by, but an example was on display in the Hamburg Beatles museum when it was still open. (See pic 6, also for information only. 

Condition: excellent.

International postage quoted is for USA & Australia. For Europe it would be £10.50. Other territories also differ. Either ask for a revised invoice if you win or pay the full amount and I'll refund any significant overpayment when I mail the item. If I occasionally forget... remind me!

See my other items. I try to list vintage collectable figures and Beatles memorabilia every week or so, so if you're a collector why not add me to your saved sellers list? 

I will combine postage where possible.
