Elvis Presley Owned & Used Engraved Lighter

Elvis Presley owned and used lighter engraved, "To Elvis, Love Jane." From the collection of the late Irwin Pate who passed away in May 2018. Irwin was a renowned booking agent and promotional manager for over four decades. He promoted talent all over the United States and Internationally and during his career he and his wife Clarine obtained a large collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers. When traveling on concert tours Irwin would often obtain many of these articles from both tour crew members and venue staff. Elvis left this engraved lighter behind in a dressing room after a concert and it was found at the venue by a staff member. A few years later the employee sold the lighter to Irwin after he told him of his collection. It has been in the Pate collection ever since. A fabulous piece for display. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Irwin Pate's widow, Clarine Pate on the Pate company letterhead, and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
