Ringo's movie jacket sells for $46K

BOSTON — The black wool double-breasted suit jacket Ringo Starr wore in the 1965 Beatles movie “Help!” has sold at auction for more than $46,500.

Boston-based RR Auction announced Friday that the jacket with soft gray vertical pinstripes, six black buttons, and the name “Ringo” sewn inside was part of the online Marvels of Modern Music auction that closed Thursday.

RR said the buyer is “a top rock ’n’ roll collector in Rhode Island,” but did not disclose a name.

Other items sold in the auction included a signed Jimi Hendrix Experience album cover for almost $31,000, a signed Janis Joplin photograph for almost $19,000, and a contract signed by Jim Morrison to appear on American Bandstand for nearly $12,000.
