Item Description
7" long plastic megaphone w/2.25" dia. mouth opening (w/original metal rim) and 5" dia. at other end. Manufactured by Yell-A-Phone and only sold at Beatles concerts in 1965. Correct raised Yell-A-Phone text on inside of megaphone. Issued w/small ball chain on one end so owner could wear around neck. Bugle is emblazoned w/photo portrait images of each Beatle w/their name underneath and bold "Beatle Bugle" text. This is yellow w/green printing. Also produced in white/red and orange/black. As these were for concert use and the plastic was somewhat fragile (even at the time of manufacture), not many of these survived intact. Tiny stresslines w/some mild discoloration on both sides of Paul image, but these are only noticeable upon close inspection and bugle remains bright and glossy. VF. Rare and the first example we've offered in our 47 years.
