Wooden spoon measuring 11.5″ in length that is signed on the inside of the bowl in light blue felt tip "John Lennon 1969," and in black felt tip "Yoko Ono '69." In very good condition, with Lennon's signature quite light and partly illegible, mild wear from use, and an auction house label to the center of the bowl. The item was originally signed at a screening of the Lennons' ‘home movies’ at the New Cinema Club at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, on September 10, 1969; the spoon was evidently used as a participatory noisemaker. On the following day, Lennon informed the Beatles' new manager, Allan Klein, that he was quitting the band. Provenance: Julien’s Auctions.
