More news from the Elvis Presley Memorial Garage Sale in Las
Vegas. Thank you…..thank you very much.
Las Vegas (AP) - The rather ordinary-looking television
antenna was never meant to be sold, but when organizers of the
Elvis Presley auction found it backstage, they decided to put
it on the auction block anyway.
The King's 8-foot Christmas tree-shaped antenna, which was
shipped by accident along with other items selected to weed out
the collection at Graceland, sold Saturday for $1,725.
"It's a real piece of Graceland, not just some document,"
Sue Fergustrom of Springfield, Mo., said, laughing. "And when
he tries to contact me I'll have better reception."
Other items at Saturday's auction, all dating from the
1960's, included a battery-operated Hamilton wristwatch that
Presley owned, which went for $36,875; a rocking chair, which
went for $19,550; and a humidor, which went for $28.750.
