Offered is an interesting collection of 29 pieces of 1960s-70s Elvis Presley Fan Mail with Letters, Photos and Jewelry, as well as Fan Club Ephemera. As soon as Elvis hit the national and worldwide scene in 1956, fans from around the globe began reaching out to him via the mail. The offered group of material comes from the files of Colonel Tom Parker, who would task various members of his far flung team with processing the mail and sending replies when possible. The collection includes:
Letters (21) from the U.S., Germany, England, Norway, Italy, Ghana, Hungary, Greece, Australia and a postcard from Beirut, Lebanon! Of special note is one letter from Red Cloud, Nebraska with a full handwritten sheet music and lyrics to a song she wrote for Elvis! Another included a "good luck charm" for the "Super King" in the form a small gold colored crucifix included with a long rambling letter from a fan who saw "all four shows in New York.";
Photos (4) of fans to Elvis, in their homes and two in a guest room at The Las Vegas Hilton;
Fan Club pieces (4) three newsletters and one fan club sticker.
