Selections From Frank Sinatra's Wardrobe to be Offered at Auction

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In less than one week, a selection of clothing items from the personal wardrobe of Frank Sinatra is going up for auction, giving fans and collectors a chance to own an item belonging to an icon of a glamorous era.

The selection from his personal wardrobe, coming up for auction September 15, will be sold alongside other celebrity objects including a 14KT gold watch that Bob Hope gifted to big-band leader Kay Kyser, and items from notable designers such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Tiffany & Co.  It is all part of a three-day gallery auction being conducted by Leland Little Auction & Estate Sales, Ltd. of Hillsborough, N.C.

This is not the first time the public has had an opportunity to bid on items owned by the legendary singer and film actor.  In 1995, Christie's of New York sold a collection of Sinatra's belongings for $2.07 million.  And, since his passing in 1998, items from his personal collection continue to sell at auction, including everything from his cars to his personal credit cards.

The auction will be held September 13-15 in Hillsborough, N.C.  For those unable to attend the auction, telephone, absentee, and online bidding are available with the opportunity of following the sale via a live video and audio feed.

Other highlights from the three-day auction include fine jewelry, sterling silver, rare and fine wines, Oriental carpets, Meissen porcelain, Southern pottery, antique furniture, and American and international art.
