Item Description
7-1/8x20.25" glossy store sign advertising one of the classic and earliest licensed Beatles items. The "Mop Top" wigs were produced by Lowell Toy Mfg. Corp. c. 1964. Sign shows boy and girl wearing the popular fashion accessory. Text at center reads "We Have The Only Official Authentic Beatle Wig By Lowell." These wigs were among the first pieces of official Beatles merchandise sold during the opening days of Beatlemania in early 1964. Several celebrities and politicians were seen wearing these wigs, showing just how popular The Beatles were becoming. Vertical fold at center as issued. Sign shows obvious handling wear w/numerous creases and a 1.5" long tear above girl's head. Sign is still bright and glossy. VG. Rare and first we've offered in our 47 years.
