The Fab Four

Sometimes Dear One and I really stumble onto it.

After a recent trip to restock our space at Odana Antiques in Madison Wisconsin, we were driving back home late.  I was the driver and I wanted a pit stop.  Antiquers always try to time "The Call of Nature" to when they are passing an antique shop on the highway.
On the way out the shop door--there they were.  A set of four, one of a kind chairs depicting the Beatles.  There were four 1960s era chairs, with hand painted portraits of the the John, Paul, George and Ringo on the seats and the backs covered in black and white montage of photos from fan magazines. From the looks of some of the photos--I date the handiwork at 1970.

Now if truth be told--I was playing Barbie's during the heyday of Beatlemania.  Dear One was grinding through college and law school "and had no time to pay attention to pop music"  or so he says. 

But these chairs are mighty neato.  You can find them now at the shop.  $775 the set.  One of a kind pieces for the man cave or woman cave.
