LIBERACE Personal Items

[VoiceMan]

I'm not sure exactly where to post this...but is something I thought you all would like to see. The Liberace museum in Las Vegas closed after 30 years. The items will not be sold...in hopes of re-opening the museum at a better location in Las Vegas. After he died an auction was held, some things have since managed to have been donated back to the museum...other things are still in private hands...clothing, home decor etc. I have obtained 2 items from his Hollywood home...his telephone and mug/pen/pencil holder from his home office there. I'm attaching 3 pics...one is the photo of his desk as it was in the late 1970's from a book he wrote called ""The Things I Love"". These that I have are the origionals with origional auction tag on the mug. They are not for sale...if I ever did choose to sell them...it would be for the pair and in the thousands... I'd really like to loan them for filming of the new movie. Enjoy the pics.

I always enjoyed watching his performances. Got hooked when he had his show back in the late 50's.

My editing did'nt work so here is the rest of it...this pic shows the mug from both sides...the nebraska image faced away from his desk seat... He died in 1986, I was 11 then. I remember being facinated by his T.V. specials and how fast and precise he could play such complex pieces with some of his own flare mixed in too. I do feel lucky to have not 1 but 2 items of his personal belongings...and the fact that they both have his name on them and both belong together and are documented in a book by Liberace himself...not to mention that seriously increases the value too.
