Piece of Bob Marley’s Dreadlocks to Sell for Thousands
The 1.5-inch dreadlock, the first genuine piece of Bob Marley’s hair sold in over 20 years, includes his autograph and is expected to fetch up to £25,000 at JC Auctions.
- On April 9, JC Auctions in Bristol will auction a 1.5 inch dreadlock from Bob Marley, expected to fetch between £20,000 and £25,000 during the online sale.
- Andrea Reed obtained the lock at a 1978 Top of the Pops performance at the BBC Television Centre, receiving permission from Bob Marley to take the hair, which she described as 'crunching off'.
- Reed, now 62, recalled twisting the hair and describing the sensation as 'like a bag of crisps', while Paul Fraser of JC Auctions noted the lot includes an autograph worth around £4,000.
- This sale marks the first time a genuine piece of Bob Marley's hair has appeared at auction since 2003, as Fraser stated that "demand is strong for Bob Marley memorabilia" due to limited existing items.
- Running until Thursday April 9, the online auction showcases the lock as one of 50+ rare pieces of history featured in the current JC Auctions catalog.
