Lot Essay

The vendor's Father-in-law worked for Hunt Wesson Foods in the 1970s as part of a sales team who won a trip to Spain. They were on the same flight as John Lennon and posed with Lennon and Yoko Ono in New York before boarding the flight. Apparently, Lennon gave this to Mr. Hanzen during the flight so he could send him the photograph.
