He dyed the singer's hair black and then cut it, saving strands3 in a towel. Friends of Mr Gilleland said he would then bundle up(捆扎) the towel, with hair inside, and take it home in a bag. The piece of hair had been expected to fetch up to £250 at Saturday's auction in Devizes, Wiltshire. After Elvis's death in 1977, Mr Gilleland is said to have started selling strands of the hair in a souvenir(纪念品) shop on the street opposite the singer's home Graceland in Memphis in the US. The strand which was auctioned4 was given to Thomas B Morgan Jnr in 2002 by the barber. Mr Morgan worked in the Sheriff's Office of Shelby County and knew Elvis. The hair, which comes with a certificate of authenticity5(确实性,真实性), is mounted in a frame alongside a photograph of Elvis. It was auctioned at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes. In November 2002, a strand of Elvis's hair sold for 115,000 US dollars (about £70,000) in an internet auction. 点击 ![]()
