Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP, and on the cover of Lennon and Ono’s Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins) as well as a custom Vox Kensington guitar, a coloured felt pen drawing, called "Strong", and a pen and ink drawing by Lennon, entitled “Happy Fish”. Mardas said he planned to donate the money to a charity in Greece.
