Elvis Presley Signed RCA  Nipper  Statue for
Elvis Presley Signed RCA "Nipper" Statue for MGM! An extraordinary piece that ties together the film and music career of The King himself, presented here is a 20" tall resin statue of Nipper the RCA dog, boldly signed by Elvis to the staff of the MGM Pictures press department in black ink, "To Mr. Howard Strickland and all the boys in the Press Department, Gratefully, Elvis Presley." A superb signature from Elvis, certainly one of the nicest and largest examples we have ever seen! Originally acquired from the estate of Howard Strickland, who was head of MGM's public relations department during Elvis' tenure with the studio. Some light signs of professional restoration, nearly unnoticeable, do not affect the writing and signature or statue's overall appearance whatsoever. An exceptional display and ideal investment piece for the ultimate Elvis collector! From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
