Thanks to those who replied to my post. So, what happened to the drumsticks 
and autographs???

I sold the autographs within a few days for $2 to some other English friend 
(when you are earning $20 pw, $2 was a lot) I gave a drumstick away and hung 
onto the other for almost 30 years before I sold it on ebay for $39. (it 
wasn't authenticated)
