London, Aug 29 (IANS) A porcelain lavatory once used by singer John Lennon was sold for 9,500 pounds at an auction here, a media report said.
The porcelain lavatory was used by the singer for three years when he lived at Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire between 1969 and 1972, Daily Telegraph reported.
It was expected to sell for just 1,000 pounds but an overseas investor paid 9,500 pounds for it at the 33rd annual Beatles Convention in Liverpool.
Stephen Bailey, a ‘Fab Four’ expert and the auction’s organiser, said: ‘It is unbelievable. We had bids coming in from all over the place but it went to a private overseas buyer.’
The lot was part of a sale of Beatles memorabilia, including autographs, rare recordings of the group, and a harmonica owned by Lennon’s son Julian.
