Kurt Cobain mementos, Elvis Presley web domain hit the auction block
An electric guitar once owned by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is among the top lots to be sold at Kruse GWS Auction later this month and could fetch upward of $200,000.
Doodles, still photographs, and even swimming goggles from the American rocker are also included in the sale.
“I think we are going to see some great activity on that guitar,” said lead auctioneer, Brigitte Kruse.
“I would expect this one to probably fall in the couple of hundred thousand range conservatively,” Kruse said.
