John Lennons Owned and Worn Glasses
We’re very fortunate to have been consigned a personal item so closely identified with the iconic image of John Lennon during his post-Beatle years spent in New York City. While countless photographs depict Lennon wearing wire-rimmed glasses, only a few properly documented pairs of his glasses have surfaced over the years. According to the notarized LOA, dated September 3, 2003: “These silver wire rimmed glasses were owned by John Ono Lennon. I, Sam Green, worked as the Lennon’s art advisor and was a close friend. Yoko Ono gave these glasses to me in 1979. They were missing the lenses when I received them.” Indeed, Green was a very close friend to the Lennons. In fact, when Lennon drew his last will and testament in November of 1979, it was Sam Green who was chosen to be the guardian of the couple’s son, Sean, after John’s passing and in the case of Yoko Ono’s death or inability to care for him. The glasses are in excellent condition and have recently been fitted with non-prescription lenses. Please note the photo of John is for illustration purposes only. The glasses offered here are not necessarily the glasses he is wearing in the photo.
