John Lennon's iconic specs is expected to fetch 25,000 pounds at an auction, it has been revealed.

Lennon gave these specs to a "flirty" girl named Wendy Baker who had pinched his bottom during a conga and Baker is now placing the musician specs under the hammer, the Daily Express reported.

Wendy, who is now 75-years-old, said that it was hard to imagine someone as cool as the former Beatles member doing the conga, but it happened.

Darren Julien, who sells the specs in Los Angeles in November, said that it was rare to find a pair of Lennon's worn glasses.
