Elvis Presley Rare 1972 "Elvis Now" Las Vegas Hilton Hotel Engagement Souvenir Promotional Pen Acquired From Colonel Parker W/LOA - This is a rare souvenir promotional pen from Elvis Presley's legendary 1972 "Elvis Now" engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton. Elvis returned to Las Vegas in 1969 after a nine year hiatus, and after the historic, triumphant return he performed regular engagements each year. In 1972, Elvis' summer engagement at the now world famous Las Vegas Hilton filled the showroom to capacity audiences as usual. The hotel was covered with massive banners and signs announcing the engagement, called "Elvis Now". Colonel Parker and Elvis' record label, RCA, created special souvenir items for the occasion including these special ink pens. These were used exclusively to promote the special engagement, and the remaining inventory was put into storage by Colonel Parker where they remained for many years. The pens were later given by the Colonel to his assistant and Elvis' official photographer Mr. Ed Bonja. This is one of the last remaining promotional items that was used in Las Vegas to promote Elvis' monumental engagement. The lot includes a letter of authenticity.
