Famous gold belt
You've probably seen the press conference. Elvis is wearing a baby blue suit at the International Hotel. A female reporter asks him about having a reputation of heing a shy down-home boy. Elvis looks at her and says, "I don't know what gives you that idea, I mean I've got the belt..." This is that belt. The International Jilton gave it to Elvis for setting an attendance record. Elvis had jewels set in it. They also showed us his Remote control, a ring he gave his girlfriend, Gennifer Flowers, and his money clip. BTW, the belt was shockingly small.
