Est. $15,000-$17,000 Elvis Presley's Personally Owned Gideons Bible From Hillcrest Dr. Beverly Hills Home W/Bookmarked & Underlined Passages (Comes W/Notarized Letter of Authenticity & Copy of Original Bill of Sale) - This was Elvis Presley's personally owned Gideons Bible which he used in his Beverly Hills home at 1174 Hillcrest Road, in the Trousdale Estates. The bible was one of many books that belonged to Elvis and were sold at auction in September 1980, when all of the contents of the home were sold after Elvis decided to sell the home. The bible is in wonderful condition, and has underlined and bookmarked pages (marked with a dog ear). The first page is also noted "Elvis 1977" in pencil. The Bible will be accompanied by a notarized letter of authenticity from collector Mike L. Moon, who purchased this piece (along with others) at the 1980 auction. The piece will also come with a copy of the original bill of sale, dated Dec. 18, 1981. Mr. Moon held the world's largest private collection of Elvis memorabilia, and displayed this piece at his Elvis Museums for over 30 years. This is an incredible piece of memorabilia from one of history's most well known entertainers. Elvis Presley (1935-1977) was an American singer and actor. He was considered the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, and is often referred to as "The King of Rock and Roll" or "the King". Presley is one of the best-selling solo artists in the history of recorded music, with estimated record sales of around 600 million units worldwide. He won three Grammys, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
