Offered is Lisa Marie Presley's Puppy Basket Toy Music Box and two infant photos of Lisa. These items come from the Nancy Rooks collection. On the bottom of the music box Nancy has written "Lisa M. Presley 1970", and on the back of both photos she has made notations listing their years as 1968.
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 music box stands 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide and is in fully functioning order (see video above). Excellent condition.
