Offered is a wonderful make-up mirror complete with lighting element that belonged to Elvis Presley and was used at Graceland. The Rayex "HOLLYWOOD" make-up mirror shows heavy, heavy use, but is still in working condition, as the lighted image to the left shows. Like so many household items, this one was gifted to Elvis' Graceland cook and maid Nancy Rooks.
Nancy worked as a maid and cook for Elvis Presley at Graceland from 1967 to 1977, and stayed on to work for the family until 1982. She treasured her time working for Elvis and the Presley family, and always enjoyed sharing her memories with fans over the years. She made countless meals for Elvis, including his peanut butter and banana sandwiches. As a member of the Graceland family, Nancy was given any number of household items, decorative pieces or keepsakes that Elvis, Vernon, Elvis' grandmother Minnie Mae or Elvis' Aunt Delta wanted her to have. Sadly, Nancy passed just this past August 15, during The annual "Elvis Week" celebrations in Memphis. The items offered in this auction emanate directly from Nancy's estate and are accompanied by a letter of authenticity from her family.
The mirror measures 16 x 14 inches and presents with heavy wear from use, missing one light bulb. Very Good condition.
