A red necktie with repeating white RCA Nipper icons owned by Elvis Presley. Presley is believed to have received this tie when he signed his 1955 recording contract with RCA. The photographs of this event, as seen on Scotty Moore's website, show Presley attending this meeting without a tie and later photographed shaking hands while wearing this tie. To quote "...his immediate take for the ordeal that day was $9,500 and a red Nipper neck tie." Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Don Wheeler, an RCA employee, who was given the tie by Presley in gratitude for Wheeler's help. Categories: Elvis Presley
