The Beatles: John Lennon Signed Customs Form -
The Beatles: John Lennon Signed Customs Form - July 28, 1980. A superb group lot of documents marking an important point in John Lennon's final few months, presented here is an original Customs Declaration form, dated July 28, 1980, filled out and signed entirely in Lennon's hand. Along with writing out his name and address, Lennon also notes his date of birth, citizenship, and that he is traveling with his son, Sean. Accomplished in a rich black ink and signed, "John Lennon," at the conclusion. On the reverse, the customs inspector notes that Lennon has brought back an assortment of clothing along with a painting worth $6,000. Returning from this two month songwriting excursion to the Bahamas where he was able to pen many highly successful songs, including songs for Double Fantasy including (Just Like) Starting Over among others and songs from Milk & Honey, released posthumously in 1983, this trip would mark Lennon's final journey outside of America before his tragic passing. Also included are the original Customs forms for Lennon's personal assistant, Frederic Seaman, and Sean's nanny, Uda Uneko. Each form measures 4 x 8.5 and is in very fine condition. From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection. 3 Items Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
