CONTACT COVER IMAGES TO RECEIVE.* Fans of legendary film and music stars will have the chance to own iconic memorabilia at an auction in Los Angeles next week including Elvis and Priscilla Presley's 60-foot Delta mobile home. On Saturday August 25 GWS Auctions will celebrate some of the world’s most idolised stars of music and film with their auction 'Legends: Iconic Film & Music Memorabilia Auction.' From never-before-offered rare Elvis Presley memorabilia to screen goddess Marilyn Monroe collectibles, over 150 items will sell to the highest bidder at the highly anticipated one-day auction. Some of the extraordinary auction highlights sure to draw attention are the “Missing” bejeweled Michael Jackson glove created for Jackson by his costume designer that has never been offered at auction after it was locked in a storage unit for over a decade, a Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown wedding invitation, a gold watch given to Sharon Tate by her mother before her tragic murder by the followers of Charles Manson, and an Adrian designed Munchkin coat with its MGM label made for the production of “The Wizard of Oz.” On an inspirational note, Elvis Presley’s personal Gideon Bible with underlined passages made by the King himself is also up for sale. Additionally, the racquet used by Elvis Presley to play racquetball with his beloved cousin and best friend Billy Smith the day before he passed away - the first time this item has ever come up for auction. Among these incredibly important Elvis items is also the well documented 1977 Sea-Mist Green Cadillac Seville, which is the last vehicle purchased by The King of Rock n’ Roll before his death. “These icons may be gone, but they certainly are not forgotten,” says GWS Auctions’ lead auctioneer and co-founder Brigitte Kruse. “The public continues to have an ongoing connection to these legendary artists, many of them taken from us far too soon. What contributes to the escalating value for collectors is the personal style and stories connected to these items. They help us recall the moments that make these performers and assets so treasured and compelling. We are honored and thrilled to be able to offer these items for auction worldwide.” The 'Legends: Iconic Film & Music Memorabilia' auction will take place on Saturday, August 25 2018, at 10 a.m. PDT.
