A pair of gold metal framed sunglasses with reflective mirror finished lenses. The glasses were worn by Michael Jackson during a 1984 performance with his brothers during the Jacksons' 1984 Victory tour. The glasses were gifted to Jackson's friend Corey Feldman and are accompanied by a letter signed by Feldman reading in part, "I Corey Feldman certify that these sun glasses were used by Michael Jackson for the Victory Tour in 1984 and personally given to me by Michael Jackson in 1985..." together with a second notarized letter from Timothy Stinson, who was in charge of markerting for both the Victory and Bad tours. Stinson explains that he collected glasses worn by Jackson each night as part of a promotional contest run in the newspapers of the major metropolitan towns along the tour's route. The notarized letter explains in part, "Michael agreed to the promotion and I would stand backstage to collect the sunglasses as he exited...Once a week I would take the glasses to Michael to be signed...Michael occasionally wanted to keep some o fthe sunglasses to give to friends...and Michael told me he would be giving some unsigned glasses to Corey [Feldman] to wear and some signed glasses to collect as memorabilia. I have inspected these unsigned sunglasses that Corey is selling, and they are the stage glasses Michael wore while performing." Categories: Michael Jackson
