The Beatles Hey Jude and Apple 40th Anniversary

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of Apple Records by the Beatles in 1968, this box reproduces the iconic black minimalist sleeve of their classic single Hey Jude – the first release by the label. A Granny Smith apple appeared on the A-side, while the B-side featured a cross-section of the same apple. Length 2 1/8" (5.5cm) A limited edition of 250. The classic English craft of enamelling on copper, which flourished during the second half of the 18th century, had declined and almost ceased by the 1830s. Although the industry spanned less than 100 years, many types of enamels had been produced, but it is the keepsake in the form of a small box for which the English enameller is best remembered. It was not until 1970 that the delightful boxes and other items were once again made in England. These enamels are the descendants of the rare and beautiful enamels of 18th-century England. Prized by discerning collectors worldwide, both as tokens of taste and sentiment and as works of art, they are destined to become the antiques of the future.
