Offered is a very high grade and lesser seen silver example of the 1961 Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. Elvis Presley bust. Elvis Presley Enterprises began merchandising items with Elvis’ likeness in mass quantities to satiate the cravings of fans for anything and everything Elvis. The products were available from 1956–1961, with this silver-colored bust being produced during the final year of the run. In fact, it is widely held that these busts were the last of the vintage EPE merchandise to be made. The silver-colored bust of a young Elvis has “©1961 Elvis Presley Enterprises All Rights Reserved” marked on the reverse of the base. The front of the base has Elvis’ embedded signature. The bust has been adhered to a small marble plinth. It is unclear whether this was sold in this manner or done later. The bust measures 7 inches tall and 3 ¾ inches wide, and the base measures ½ inch high and 3 ½ x 3 ½ inches. Stunning Near Mint to Mint condition.
