Rolling Stones guitars, jackets on offer in auction
From Brian Jones' guitar to Mick Jagger's jacket, Rolling Stones memorabilia from a private collection heads to auction next month in a sale that could raise around $1.3 million.
Some 185 items, including posters, stage-worn outfits and tickets, will go under the hammer at Dallas-based Heritage Auctions' "Satisfaction: The Rolling Stones Treasures from the Ali Zayeri Collection" on December 4, with late Rolling Stones' co-founder Jones' Harmony Stratotone electric guitar leading the sale with an estimate of $200,000 - $400,000.
Many of the sale items stem from the group's early years.
Other items belonging to Jones, who left the group in 1969 and died soon after, include a fringed suede jacket he wore for his final live performance with the band as well as a childhood book.
Also for sale are jackets worn by lead singer Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards as well as drummer Charlie Watts' signed drumsticks.
