The July 28 auction also will include a table from the home Lennon shared with his first wife, Cynthia; a tunic thought to have inspired the costumes on the ``Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' album cover; and a bedspread from Lennon's ``bed-in'' for peace in Montreal with Yoko Ono, Cooper Owen auction house announced Monday.
