Wow! Besides the wedding present of an apartment from Brian Epstein for the newlyweds, John got his own wedding gift from Brian, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison: a dressing kit!
The black leather case has his initials J. W. L. on it and contained a chromium plated mirror, a bottle opener, an empty glass aftershave bottle, a nylon bristle hairbrush, a plastic portable toothbrush and a metal Gillette razor. There's also a little silver ashtray engraved Good luck John & Cynthia from Brian, Paul & George 23 Aug 62 that was very well used… after all, they all smoked heavily then. The ashtray was later given to Mal Evans as a memento. It's nice that John made use of his wedding gift!
