ACQUIRED FROM THE FAMILY OF A GENTLEMAN WHO ONCE MANAGED A S.S. KRESGE DEPARTMENT STORE, COMES THIS UNBELIEVABLE FIND. A COMPLETE DISPLAY EASEL OF THE BEATLES COIN HOLDERS ! ALL 12 ARE THERE, AND THIS EXAMPLE IS STORE STOCK PRISTINE, LIKE NEW.

THE RED AND BLACK LEATHER PURSES ARE STUNNING - OBVIOUSLY PRESERVED IN THEIR ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO CRACKS, SPLITS, OR WEAR TO ANY OF THE COIN PURSES ! AND THE EASEL HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED TO THE DISPLAYING POSITION. THE TONE OF THE EASEL REMAINS A BRIGHT WHITE, WITH VERY MINIMAL AGING TONING AND NATURAL FACTORY CREASE LINES. WEAR FLAWS ARE THREE AREAS ON THE BACK OF THE EASEL: THREE OF THE CARDBOARD SLATS THAT SUPPORT TWO OF THE RED PURSES HAVE BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE EASEL, WHERE THREE SMALL PIECES OF TRANSPARENT TAPE HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO SECURE THOSE SLATS. THOSE TWO PURSES REMAIN HUNG ON THE SLOTS. THIS IS THE EXTENT OF ANY BREAKAGE OVER FIFTY YEARS, DUE TO THE PURSES BEING HUNG INTACT OVER TIME.

THESE COIN PURSES ARE USUALLY FOUND SEPARATELY WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL DISPLAY EASEL, AND WHEN THE EASEL DOES SURFACE THEIR CONDITION IS HORRENDOUS. UNDOUBTEDLY, THIS EXAMPLE IS TRULY AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND, AND A PIECE OF BEATLES MEMORABILIA THAT WILL NEVER BE MATCHED.
