Offered is an Elvis Presley owned automobile-themed money clip which he gave to longtime Graceland electrician George Coleman. the clip has a sculptural image of an early 20th century car on its face. Coleman worked at Graceland from the late 1950s until 1982, and over the years Elvis gave him a great many items to say thank you. During one of George's many work visits to Graceland, he ended up in the offices with Elvis. George was witness to the large number of items that were sent to Elvis from fans on regular basis. Thank you letters were sent out to as many fans as possible from the offices at Graceland. During this visit, Elvis told George to see if there was anything he wanted and insisted he take a couple of items. The offered money clip was among the items Elvis gave to George that day.
In later years, George sold a large number of items, including the offered money clip, to noted early Elvis collector Tom Salva. Tom's letter of authenticity accompanies. The money clip measures 2 x 1 1/8 inches and presents with heavy use. Excellent condition.
