Elvis Presley's 1975 Custom Gold & Silver TCB Sunglasses Given to Las Vegas Hilton Employee W/(3) LOAs (Never Publicly Offered) - These large gold frame sunglasses were personally owned and worn by Elvis Presley while at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1975. The glasses have a heavy, gold colored frame with silver TCB logos on each arm, gradient orange lenses which appear to have Elvis' light prescription, and the inside of the ear pieces are marked "NEOSTYLE made in Germany 140" and "140 NAUTIC 822". According to the accompanying letters of authenticity, these sunglasses were given by Elvis to Fabian Juarez, who was working as an usher at the Las Vegas Hilton. Elvis was known to give away many personal items as gifts, and especially to employees he would meet who worked in the venues in which he was performing. The glasses are accompanied by a letter from Juarez which states in part, "That evening after the show, I was back stage when Elvis came up to me and told me he had planned to give me a gold watch that evening but had run into someone previously and gave that watch away and took his glasses off of his face and handed them to me saying 'here, these are for you'." Juarez kept these glasses in his possession from when he was given them in 1975 until 2014 when he then gifted them (in true Elvis fashion) to Elvis tribute artist Bill Cherry. The glasses will also come with a notarized letter from Cherry detailing how he came to receive the glasses from Juarez. They will also be accompanied by a second notarized letter from a retired police lieutenant and friend of Cherry's, who met with Fabian Juarez in 2018 while in Las Vegas. The pair met to discuss the story of the glasses and to get the letter of authenticity from Juarez, who was 84 at the time. These iconic glasses are truly special, and embody the infamous style and generosity of the King as well as the love between Elvis and his fans. This is a once in a lifetime find worthy of a museum exhibit centerpiece, as these particular glasses have never been previously offered for sale to the public.
