Jan 26 (Reuters) – Personal items once owned by Elvis
Presley are expected to fetch big bucks when they come up for
auction this week.

The nearly 40 lots from Presley include a jacket designed by
the man behind his famous jumpsuit and cape, a well-loved
briefcase, and an address book filled with his handwriting,
expected to bring in over $10,000.

The address book featured “the people that he really was
closest with and connected the most with,” said Kruse GWS
auctions founder and lead auctioneer Brigitte Kruse. “We
actually have some of his personal notes (in the book), which
we’re going to leave as a surprise for the winning bidder.”

Interest in the American singer, who died in 1977, is high
following the release last year of Oscar-nominated biopic
“Elvis” and the recent death of his daughter, Lisa Marie
Presley.

Also included in the “Artifacts of Hollywood & Music” sale
on Jan. 28 are items from Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minnelli –
plus Rock Hudson’s dog’s Christmas stocking.
