A gift from Elvis.
This beautiful dress shown in the photo above was a gift from Elvis to Linda Thompson. Elvis took Linda to California were she went on extravagant shopping sprees. Elvis love to buy Linda the best clothing money could buy to show off her beauty queen figure. When Vernon would get the bills back at Graceland he would swear Elvis was going to go broke. Some of these shopping sprees would cost Elvis tens of thousands of dollars. Vernon was sure if Elvis kept spending money like he did that one day it would all be gone and he would have to go back to work. This dress in made by "Funky" and is a size five. This dress was sold in the early 80's by Linda Thompson to Jimmy Velvet.

Elvis' last book..
This is not the same book that Elvis had in his bathroom on Aug 16th but a originial edition of the same book. The "A Scienticic Search for the Face of Jesus" published in 1972. These books are very rare and extreamly hard to find, due to the small number printed. Elvis was always looking for the truth and he died knowing that this book showed Jesus was a scientific fact and not a myth. Larry Geller wrote me in part, which a copy of the original letter goes with this book.
"Less than two weeks before his death, Elvis called me. Following is a portion of that conversation as recorded in my diary on August 4, 1977. "...don't forget to get me the best book on the Holy Shroud of Jesus. I really need to look into it. It seems to me that it's definitive proof that Jesus, or Yeshua or whatever His real name is, definitely did walk the earth and for some reason left behind his own cloth that they wrapped His body in that made His imprint..."
As recorded in my diary August 14th, 1977: "I stopped by the Bodhi Tree bookstore to select the books for Elvis (before i flew to Memphis to go on tour on the 16th). There was a large selection on the subject of the Holy Shroud of Turin. I knew that there was a growing interest in it and that many scientific studies have been done; however, I was still surprised by the wide range of books within this category. Of all the books on the shelf, The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus, by Frank 0, Adams, beckoned to me, and I knew this was the one..." Two days later on August 16th, Elvis' body was found lying on the floor in a fetal position upstairs in Graceland in his bathroom. Elvis died clutching the book I had just given him, The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus". by Larry Geller.

Elvis' shot glasses
Elvis was not a drinker, but when he purchased his Mercedes Limo, it came with a bar. Elvis gave this car to Jimmy in the mid 70's. Jimmy used the Mercedes as the center piece in his museum for many years. Jimmy took all the removable items out of his cars when they went on display to prevent theft. The new owner of the car contacted me a couple of years ago to inquire about the glasses from his car. He told me that he just had custom shot glasses made for the car with TCB's on them to replace the originals that were missing. He was very kind and sent me a photo of the now empty bar in Elvis Mercedes. C.O.A from the Elvis Presley Museum.
Price $250 each or all four for $750.
