A Jimi Hendrix Experience set of autographs and Mitch Mitchell concert-used drumsticks, 1968

Three separate pieces of lined notebook paper; each signed by a member of the band; the first penned in blue ballpoint ink reads "Love to you / Fore / Ever / Jimi Hendrix" [sic]; the second penned in red ballpoint ink reads "Best Love / Noel Redding;" the third also penned in red ballpoint ink reads "Stay Beautiful / Love / Mitch;" mounted together with a pair of Arbiter 'Ringo Starr' model drumsticks with a placard reading "Mitch Mitchell Concert used drumsticks Gothenburg, Sweden 4 January 1968;" autographs also obtained at the same time, according to accompanying paperwork. This particular concert is infamous because Hendrix was arrested later that night for trashing his hotel room and was later fined $2,500 -- a relatively large sum in 1968.

Matted and framed: 30 x 23in; Jimi's autograph: 7 1/2 x 6in

In the YouTube video "Remembering Mitch Mitchell" by DrumTalkTV, Mitch Mitchell is seen using a Ludwig Supraphonic 400 5x14 inch Snare Drum during his performances. While it's unclear if it's the LM400 or LM402 model, the Ludwig Supraphonic 14x5 is definitely part of his setup.
