The nearly 40 lots from Presley include a
jacket designed by the man behind his famous jumpsuit and cape,
a well-loved briefcase, and an address book filled with his
handwriting, expected to bring in over $10,000.
The address book featured "the people that he really was closest
with and connected the most with," said Kruse GWS auctions
founder and lead auctioneer Brigitte Kruse. "We actually have
some of his personal notes (in the book), which we're going to
leave as a surprise for the winning bidder."
Interest in the American singer, who died in 1977, is high
following the release last year of Oscar-nominated biopic
"Elvis" and the recent death of his daughter, Lisa Marie
Presley.
Also included in the "Artifacts of Hollywood & Music" sale on
Jan. 28 are items from Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli - plus
Rock Hudson's dog's Christmas stocking.
