Lot 1789
Beatles, Rare Help Album Cover. Produced by Parlophone and EMI for Shell Oil's European employees, this rare album cover shows the Beatles Help cover pose superimposed over a Shell logo.
Also featuring a rare pocket watch issued by Shell to employees, this piece is framed with plexiglass recto and verso, enabling the owner to see the backs of the album cover and watch. Museum quality mounting and framing, including acid-free mats and UV plexiglass.
The album cover in and of itself is valuable -- appealing to many a Beatles' collector -- but the watch itself is noteworthy, as most of the watches produced by Shell were distributed with oil inside. After the oil-containing watches began to have problems, Shell issued just a few more without the oil inside and such as the watch we offer here.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
Please note the Beatles movie posters in our Entertainment section.
