Get ready for a massive dose of Hollywood and music history! This weekend, Kruse GWS Auctions is hosting a spectacular auction titled ‘Artifacts of Hollywood and Music’, featuring nearly 400 lots from some of the biggest names in entertainment history.
The auction will feature a plethora of items from the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, Elvis Presley, including his yellow gold and diamond encrusted roulette-style ring. This unique ring is expected to fetch a hefty sum between $35,000 and $60,000. Other coveted Elvis items include his 1960s Derbi Dark bronze sunglasses, Omega wristwatch, a microphone from his 1969 Vegas concerts, and even a bottle of his prescription medicine from 1977, the year of his passing. For the ultimate Elvis enthusiast, there’s even a chance to own strands of his hair collected from his Graceland residency.
Beyond Elvis, the auction boasts a treasure trove of artifacts from other music icons. Prince fans will have the opportunity to bid on a tambourine from his iconic 1985 Purple Rain tour, while Beach Boys enthusiasts can own a letter from Brian Wilson to his bandmate and cousin Mike Love.
For those who prefer the glamour of Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe’s personally owned rhinestone choker necklace is up for grabs. Additionally, the auction includes a black cocktail dress owned by Farah Fawcett and a white silk nylon blend blouse owned by Elizabeth Taylor.
Auctioneer Brigitte Kruse describes the auction as “pretty powerful” due to the emotional connection these items evoke, especially given the tragic and untimely deaths of some of these iconic figures. Online bidding is already underway, with the live auction kicking off on Saturday, August 31st.
Whether you’re an avid collector of music memorabilia or simply a fan of these legendary figures, this auction is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history. Get ready to bid and experience the magic of Hollywood and music come to life!
