...A mono-sound copy Two Virgins, which he recorded with Yoko Ono, is expected to fetch at least £2,500.
When the avant-garde LP was released in November 1968 it was notable for being sold in brown paper bags because the sleeve controversially featured a naked picture of the famous couple on the cover.
Although a limited release of 5,000 stereo versions of the album were available in shops, fans had to write to the record label to purchase a mono copy of the record.
The exact number of mono copies sold is not known, but auction organisers say it is likely to be as few as a ''couple of hundred''.
....The auction is also inviting bids for Lennon's toilet from Tittenhurst Park, his Berkshire home between 1969 and 1972.
Lennon told builder John Hancock to keep the porcelain lavatory and ''use it as a plant pot'' after he had installed a new one.
It was stored in a shed at Mr Hancock's home for 40 years until he died recently.
The toilet carries an estimate of £750 to £1,000.
Stephen Bailey, a Beatles expert and organiser of the auction, said: ''The toilet might be worth something, and it might not, but it is certainly one of the more unusual items we've sold.''
...''The stereo version sold relatively few copies at a time when any one of the Beatles could easily have shifted hundreds of thousands of records.
...Also from Tittenhurst Park comes a small harmonica that belonged to Lennon's son, Julian.
Again it was given to Mr Hancock by the musician who asked him to take it home as ''Julian was driving him mad with it''.
Lennon told Mr Hancock he would tell Julian it was lost.
The harmonica is expected to fetch between £750 and £1,000...

Yoko’s singing belongs in the toilet.
“But ping me when Elvis’s toliet (the one he died on) becomes available”.
...never used. Clean as a whistle!
I wouldn’t give two turds for that.
“All You Need is Crap”
singing something in the way she moves followed by the Long and winding road..
John’s john?
I Want to Hold Your Hand (but only after you wash it).
Lucy in the loo with t.p......
Did you wait to do that at post 9 or was it just a coincidence?
"ROSEBUD!"
My bowels went boom when I crossed that room.....
Just another example of Lennon being a prick. Steal the harmonica from a kid who probably simply wanted to be like or impress his father and then lie to the poor kid. He really had a lot of people fooled with that peace and love crap.
Throw in the Oval Office sink that Bill Clinton “used” and you’d have one fine auction!
It's Yoko AND John's toilet, if that means anything to the buyer.
My mother taught me not to speak ill of the dead, but I must say that the words “toilet” and “John and Yoko” just seem to go together.
I’m interested ... it probably has more than 3 gallons per flush.
“We can work it out”
“HELP! Help me if you can...”
LOL good one.
