Vintage white silk scarf, measuring 33.5″ x 33.5″ unfolded, attested to as being worn on stage by Elvis Presley, who presented the scarf to a fan during his concert at the Roanoke Civic Center in Roanoke, Virginia, on August 2, 1976. The scarf, which is referred to as the ‘square corner signature scarf,’ was purportedly used by Presley between August 1974 and June 1977. The lightweight scarf is entirely plain with the exception of Presley’s facsimile autograph to one corner. In fine, folded condition, with the scarf appearing to exhibit perspiration garnered from Elvis during the performance. Accompanied by a ticket stub from the concert, two 3.5″ pin and mirror buttons with facsimile autographs, an Elvis 1976 calendar card, a 1976 ‘Souvenir Folio Concert Edition’ program (Vol. 6), and a set of six unpublished candid color photos, 3.5 x 4.75 and 4.75 x 3.5, of Elvis (wearing one of his ‘Prehistoric Bird’ outfits) during the Roanoke concert, four of which show him wearing or holding the offered scarf.
