A British auction house is selling a remarkable £275,000 collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia including a gold watch he wore on stage at the very start of his career.
The items, which also include a pair of his leather boots, a diamond and gold ring, cufflinks and early recording contracts, are being sold in the same week the new blockbuster movie Elvis is released.
Many of the lots date to around 1956, the piviotal year in Elvis' fledgling career when he was propelled to stardom. The star lot is the 14 carat gold-filled Lord Elgin timepiece that was seen on his wrist during several stage and TV shows.
One of these was for his very first national TV appearance, The Dorsey Brothers 'Stage Show', in January 1956. 'The King' was also seen wearing the watch when he signed his first music contract three days later.
