A lock of Elvis Presley’s hair has been sold to a mystery buyer for $15,000 (£9,200) at an auction in Chicago.
The clump is believed to have been cut from The King’s head when he joined the US army in 1958.
It is one of 200 items of memorabilia which have gone under the hammer this weekend at Chicago’s Leslie Hindman auctioneers.
The pieces were from the personal collection of the late Gary Pepper who ran an Elvis Presley fan club and became a friend of the singer.
One of the priciest items to be sold was a white cotton shirt with EP monogrammed on the chest which went for $52,000 (£31,827).
