Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe Items Auctioned Off
Fans of Elvis Presley had their chance to bid on a gold-plated gun the rock icon owned as well as a microphone and a prescription pill bottle that held an antihistamine and decongestant drug at the annual Julien's Summer Auction in Beverly Hills.
Elvis still pulls in top dollar at auctions as his firearm sold for $28,800, the microphone went for $15,000 and his empty prescription pill bottle brought in $2,640.
While Elvis is considered “The King of Rock,” Marilyn Monroe enthusiasts proved they were still ready to shell out the bucks for anything touched by the blonde bombshell. An umbrella Monroe used in a 1949 beachside photo shoot sold for $42,000.
