LENNON’S GLASSES FETCH BIG BUCKS

A pair of John Lennon’s round and green-tinted sunglasses have sold at auction to an unnamed bidder for the equivalent of about $242,000, BBC reported recently. The shades, which were based on British National Health Service specs Lennon adopted in 1966 before his role in the film How I Won the War, were part of his signature look in the late ’60s.

The Beatle left them on the back seat of a car in 1968 with one lens and arm disconnected, gifting them to his chauffeur, Alan Herring.

“I asked John if he’d like me to get them fixed for him,” Herring wrote on the Sotheby’s auction house website. “He told me not to worry, they were just for the look!”

Herring never did get the Oliver Goldsmith glasses repaired, keeping them just how Lennon, shown, had left them.
