Presented are two Elvis Presley personally owned bowling trophies from the 1960s. By that time, Elvis was one of the biggest musical stars in the world. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, he lived in Memphis, Tennessee, from 1948 until his death in 1977. In the mid-1960s, when the offered bowling trophies were awarded, Presley was not a frequent bowler. He had produced worldwide record hits with "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Love Me Tender," and numerous other classics, and he was by now also a movie star. He was already ensconced in Graceland, a home that provided some of the privacy that he sought. Presley enjoyed karate, and racquetball as a participant, and as a fan, his favorite football team was the Cleveland Browns. As for Elvis's bowling, one of the cousins of Elvis said that Elvis had gone bowling with him, rolled a few gutter balls, and stopped bowling that time, not willing to do anything in which he could not excel. It is most likely that Presley was not an actual member of the teams that won the trophies, but that he was a sponsor of the Memphis Fire Department team and received a trophy for his sponsorship. The trophies: 1) This trophy has a base of 3.6x6.5" and a height of approx. 16.4". The plaque on the base reads, "2ND PLACE 65-66/ELVIS PRESLEY/FIREMAN'S [sic] 'A' LEAGUE." The base shows a "team" of four miniature bowlers, none identified by name. 2) The trophy stands 25.1" tall. Its wooden base measures 5.1x11.9". The plaque at the base reads, "Roger 'Reno" Branham, Capt. MFD (Memphis Fire Department)/CHAMPIONS/64-65/ELVIS PRESLEY." The base of the trophy has five bowling figures, four of them on small platforms, and the bowlers' names on individual plaques. Presley's name is not on the plaque on the base of any of these miniature bowling figures. The top piece comes apart from the base. Both trophies exhibit some scratches on the wood and metal, and a few very small chips in a few parts of the wood. Despite the aforementioned imperfections, the trophies are in nice condition, especially considering their age, and they provide a wonderful, down-to-earth connection to the so-called "ordinary" life of Elvis in Memphis.
