Beatles memorabilia: informations required...

Hello! I'm curious about this little red box I found at a second
hand store with a picture of the Beatles and the words 'The
Cavern'; inside are die-cast figures of what appear to be the Beatles including a drummer with drums. Oh, and a dancer. I'm just wondering if they have any history? I've looked other places for information, but have had no luck; any help you
can give me would be appreciated. All the Beatles Best! Pam Grace

Memorabilia - The Beatles Record Player

This is considered by most collectors to be the ultimate piece to own of all commercial Beatles memorabilia. The 4-speed 17-1/2" x 10" x 6" NEMS record player was manufactered in 1964 and only 5000 were made. Very few survived, making it the most sought after item of Beatles memorabilia. So far only one or two mint or near mint units have turned up - the majority that have surfaced are in worn condition.
The colorful 20" x 11" x 7" packing box is even rarer, only a couple are known to exist. An owners manual was also included (pictured below). The serial numbers were on a piece of cardboard attached to the inside lid, and in most cases this has fallen off or is missing. The value has nearly doubled in the last three years for upper condition players, selling then from $1500 to $2000 and now in 1997 for $3000 and up, when they can be found.

Beatles' Era - The Monkees Toys

One of the many model kits for the Monkee Mobile

This was the board game put out to coincide with the television show.

Memorabilia - Flip Your Wig Game

In 1964 the Milton Bradley company released the Beatles "Flip Your Wig" board game. Originally the game sold for $2.98 retail.

This is probably the best bargin in all of Beatles collecting as it's a super displayable item full of colorful Beatles goodies! A Near Mint complete example is actually quite difficult to find and prices are only now climbing to the $300.00 mark for super copies! As people begin to realize their true rarity in condition, they will surely escalate fast in value in just a few short years. They've nearly doubled in the last few years for Near Mint ones.
