The Beatles: Ringo Starr Personally Used Vintage Engraved Leather Drum Stick Holder

A unique relic for the Beatles collector, presented here is a vintage brown leather drum stick bag/holder, personally owned and used by the Beatles' drummer, the great Ringo Starr. This stick holder shows obvious heavy use and appears to have spent many a nights by Ringo's side. Ringo's name is engraved along the side, with some rubbing along the engraving due to the holder's extensive usage.

This piece originates from the collection of noted studio musician Jack Sperling. Sperling, who worked with a virtual "who's who" of musicians including Elvis and Frank Sinatra--received this holder as a gift from Ringo after spending time with him at a studio where the two were recording. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance direct from Sperling.
