Description

Huge John Lennon signature and self-portrait sketch from the 1975 WFIL 'Helping Hand Marathon'

Large vintage ballpoint signature and inscription, "To Bill, with love, John Lennon, 75," along with his recognizable self-portrait caricature sketch, on a white sheet of WFIL 'Success Story' stationery. In fine to very fine condition.

From May 16–18, 1975, John Lennon volunteered his valuable time to co-host a charity gala for multiple sclerosis at radio station WFIL in Philadelphia. He participated with callers for telephone fundraising, did radio on-air segments, auctioned off his personally owned items, and signed autographs for admirers. He even did a weatherman guest spot on local WPVI-TV. The consignor notes that his sister was a part-time DJ at the radio station, through whom he obtained the autograph. A desirable piece connected to one of Lennnon's charitable efforts, testifying to his genuine concern for his fellow man.
