Ringo Starr recently announced the sale of limited edition life size replicas of his hand, with the prices for it beginning at $2,000. Ringo made a deal with Julien’s Auctions to sell the figures available in signed bronze and stainless steel editions and come in a presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. There will only be 250 of each version made available. The bronze version is marked at $2,000 and the steel version costs $5,000 with shipping included in the prices.
The auction site stated, “Each life-sized hand artwork features Starr’s iconic peace symbol, his signature greeting and enduring message to the world for the last five decades, Starr has delivered this message in many forms: from his annual request for fans to join him in making the hand symbol on his birthday, to the 8-foot tall, 800-pound stainless steel statue dedicated to him in Beverly Hills, CA, and beyond. With all of the proceeds benefiting the Lotus Foundation in its mission of funding, supporting, participating in, and promoting a wide range of charitable projects, these artworks deliver this message of Peace & Love anew.”
