Elvis Presley's Personally Owned and Worn Belt with Photos and Rare Interview Acetate (circa 1956).... (Total: 12 Items)

Description

Elvis Presley's Personally Owned and Worn Belt with Photos and Rare Interview Acetate (circa 1956). Elvis must have loved this slim-style belt a lot -- he's wearing it in a lot of photos! The belt appears to be a custom-made item, with no size or any other markings. It is in Very Fine condition, with only a minor amount of wear on the black leather. Included are eight photo prints of Elvis, five prominently featuring the belt (two of which are in color), plus a 1978 issue of Parade Magazine with vintage photos of Elvis (one wearing the belt), and a laminated page from the St. Petersburg Times for Sunday, September 16, 1956, with a photo of Carmelita DeGormar being presented with the belt as winner of a radio contest. Included with the belt is a 12" acetate recording featuring a five-plus minute interview with Elvis that was also presented to Miss DeGormar, as shown in the photo.
