The Most Expensive Pill Bottle in the World
Old celebrity belongings are auctioned off at Julien's Summer Auction.
How much do you think a pill bottle owned by Elvis goes for nowadays? At the annual Julien's Summer Auction on Saturday, the bottle, which was for the antihistamine drug Naldecon, sold for $2,640. CEO Darren Julien said they had planned to auction off the bottle with the pills still inside, but the Los Angeles Police Department told them it would be a federal crime. "So sad to say we had to remove the pills," he lamented.
The pill bottle was not the only odd celebrity knickknack sold during the eight hour auction at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Alfred Hitchock's passport went for $19,200, Elvis Presley's gold-plated gun for $28,000, and a microphone used by The King in the 1950s sold for $15,000.
An umbrella twirled by Marilyn Monroe in a famous 1949 seaside photo shoot was bought for $42,000 by William Doyle, who planned to display the treasure at the Museum of Style Icons in Ireland.
