A brass Yale key associated with Sir Paul McCartney’s childhood home sells for £6,100 at auction, according to multiple UK outlets.
The Independent and the Evening Standard report the key is sold by auctioneers Dominic Winter, with the final price described as about three times the pre-sale estimate. The Evening Standard notes the estimate was £2,000 to £3,000, while The Independent characterises the result as tripling the forecast value. All sources frame the sale as a relatively rare memorabilia auction item tied to McCartney’s early life, highlighting the strong interest that pushes the price above expectations. The Belfast Telegraph’s provided excerpt contains no additional details beyond the shared subject of the key’s sale.
There are no conflicting facts across the reports about the item, the auctioneer, or the final hammer price, though only one outlet specifies the exact estimate range.
