Vintage handbill from the Winter Gardens in Margate, signed by the Beatles during their short residency there between July 8-13, 1963

Original vintage 5.5 x 8.75 handbill for a concert at the Winter Gardens in Margate, England on July 7, 1963, featuring musical performances by Jet Harris, Tony Meehan, and Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, signed on the reverse by the Beatles, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison signing in ballpoint, and Ringo Starr signing in pencil and adding “The Beatles.” The adjacent side of the handbill bears ownership notations. The consignor notes that the autographs were obtained at the venue when the Beatles performed a short residency there between July 8-13, 1963. In very good condition, with light creasing, general handling wear, and old tape stains to the corners. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks and a letter of provenance from the niece of the original recipient: “My auntie…lived in Margate, Kent.

She went to see the Beatles in 63, and got their autographs.”
