Beatle belts

I am not sure how this exactly fits in with the story I just posted of the Dallas Beatles  fan club girls who met the Beatles and gave them black Stetson hats and lighters.  There was another Beatles fan club in Dallas that also had a present for the Fab 4.    The Beatles ltd. club had belts made that had the Beatles' names on them.   I am not sure if this fan club got to present the belts in person or if they were sent to the guys, but I do know that the Beatles received them and wore them. 



This past June, Bonhams auction house had John's belt up on the auction block.   Here is what the auction  listing said about the belt:

 A newspaper article taken from the 'Dallas Morning News' sometime in the week the Beatles were due to arrive for their concert at the Memorial Auditorium has a photograph of Dell Perry and Suzie Chapman, of The Beatles Ltd., one of several fan clubs in Dallas at the time. They are shown holding the four belts, donated by the Justin Boot Co., that they intended to present to the Beatles.
