GWS Auctions accused of selling inauthentic Elvis Presley Memorabilia
As reported by the outlet, Graceland executives are raising questions about the Elvis Presley memorabilia items sold at GWS Auctions.
The managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Joel Weinshanker, told NBC News that he first became suspicious of the items at the auction house after seeing a black grommet jacket, worn by the late singer in 1972, up for sale.
He revealed that the jacket is currently hanging in Graceland’s private collection. The jacket is just one of many items the Graceland executives are questioning. Other items of memorabilia at the auction house include several pieces of jewelry and a 1962 Lockheed Jetstar owned by the legend.
According to the outlet’s report, many items came with letters from Priscilla Presley attesting to their authenticity. Some of the letters include items that Elvis had purchased after he had divorced Priscilla, such as a set of gold ‘Aloha From Hawaii’ snowman cufflinks, which alerted the Graceland executives.
Weinshanker told the publication that they have a very precise idea of all the items the late singer possessed, as his father, Vernon Presley, kept all his son’s financial records throughout the years.
