Story summary

Elvis Presley's iconic Neostyle sunglasses are set to auction at Propstore, potentially fetching over $26,542. The sunglasses were originally given by the late rock 'n' roll icon to his close friend and bodyguard Red West. West then passed them on to another friend, Charlie Hodge, who kept them in his personal collection for 25 years before selling them. These sunglasses are now part of a museum exhibit curated by Elvis Aaron Presley, Jr., claimed by some as an illegitimate son of the singer.
