Highlights from Jones’ collection of memorabilia include the commemorative plaque for the group’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star (expected to go for up to $2000) and a pair of gold and platinum sales awards, as well as some singular looks from Jones’ wardrobe, including a red-and-white vaudeville-inspired coat he wore for a performance of “Cuddly Toy.” Some of Jones’ guitars and amps will also be available for purchase, so you can confirm (if you must) via a fret board inspection that the Monkees did in fact play their own instruments at some point.
The auction items will be available for public viewing from May 12-16 and the bidding will begin on May 16 as part of a larger Music Icons 2015 auction, which includes John Lennon’s bathrobe and Frank Sinatra’s little black book.
