A few highlights from the auction include the portable organ John Lennon played on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and at Shea Stadium in 1965, a bass guitar Kurt Cobain used to record demos in the early 1980s, an original flyer advertising a Sex Pistols/Clash/Buzzcocks gig in 1976, and the original artwork from the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill.

Below (and above) are some photos of a few more "Punk/Rock" items. Beware: We tried to cut them where we could, but some of these screen grabs include Christie's viewer tools because they overlap with important parts of the auction items. Anyhow, don't miss the punk rock ties! With, um, swastikas.
