Est. $2,000-$2,500 Frank Sinatra's Personally Owned Reading Glasses & Case Acquired From Personal Aid W/LOA - This pair of reading glasses was personally owned by Frank Sinatra. The glasses have a tortoise shell frame, clear prescription lenses and come with the original leather case. The interior right side displays the model and prescription strength "126HA VAM +3.25". These glasses were acquired from Michael Castellano, who began working with the entertainer in 1976 after replacing Sinatra's previous personal aid, Eddie Fitzsimmons. Mr. Castellano quickly became Sinatra's "right hand man" and performed numerous duties for Mr. Sinatra while maintaining his stage and personal wardrobe collection. The glasses will be accompanied by a letter of authenticity from one of Hollywood's premier 4th generation costume and prop houses, which is signed by Michael Castellano and states in part, "I received this case as a personal gift from Sinatra prior to leaving his service in 1981".
