June 19, 200619 yr Author Update On Elvis Belt A belt that Elvis Presley wore during his 1972 performance in Honolulu, Hawaii brought $66,000 US at a special auction of celebrity items. The online auction in New York went live Saturday with a satellite feed to London, England. The belt — with a final price six-times the auction estimate — came from the estate of the late TV star Jack Lord of Hawaii Five-O fame and was sold to Neville Tuli, owner of an art auction house in Bombay, India.Source: Elvis Information Network / Updated: Jun 19, 2006 No I didn't buy it nor do I have any money.
