BEVERLY HILLS, CA.- Julien’s Auctions, the world’s premier entertainment and music memorabilia auction house, announced the “Property from the Estate of Davy Jones” to be auctioned May 15 – May 16, 2015 during the highly anticipated Julien’s Auctions “Music Icons” auction which will be held at the Hard Rock Cafe New York.

Davy Jones, singer, actor and music icon, originally found fame as a member and teen heartthrob of the pop group “The Monkees.” In 1964, Jones was a Broadway performer who starred as “Oliver.” As the Broadway character, Davy appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night The Beatles made their American debut and he had stars in his eyes from that day forward. He went on to star in the television show of the same name, The Monkees, alongside bandmates Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz and Mike Nesmith.

The show debuted on television in September of 1966. It was Davy Jones who attracted a lot of attention from fans because of his enormous charm, warm sense of humor and boyish good looks. “The Monkees” topped the music charts with cover hits like “I’m A Believer,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “Daydream Believer.” The group’s albums sold millions of copies and the band were one of the most famous bands of the decade. Some can even say that “The Monkees” were a cultural phenomenon who performed for screaming fans around the globe. Any fan of The Monkees will never forget the famous scene where Davy visits Marcia on the iconic television show The Brady Bunch. That episode went down as one of the highest rated shows of the season. Jones also wrote several autobiographies including his 1987 They Made a Monkee Out of Me. Davy Jones passed away of a heart attack in 2012.

Julien’s Auctions will offer “Property from the Estate of Davy Jones” at Music Icons 2015. Highlights span both Jones’ career as well as his personal life. They include Davy Jones’ Hollywood Walk of Fame plaque commemorating The Monkees being placed on the prestigious star-filled famous walk in Hollywood (Estimate $1,000-$2,000), a Davy Jones Carvin Acoustic Electric guitar with red quilt finish (Estimate: $800-$1,200), Davy Jones Monkees stage worn shirts (Estimate: $600-$800), Davy Jones Gold Record award for selling over 1,000,000 copies of the hit “Daydream Believer” (Estimate: $600-$800), several Davy Jones stage worn ensembles and suits (Estimates are various and range between $400-$1,200), Davy Jones driver’s license and wallet (Estimate: $400-$600), a Davy Jones owned and played Epiphone Casino guitar (Estimate: $1,000-$2,000), a large stage used “The Monkees” neon sign (Estimate: $1,000-$2,000) and Davy Jones tour used road cases ($300-$400).

Other highlights of the collection include a Vaudevillian striped red and white coat worn by Davy Jones in concert (circa 1987) which is a costume reminiscent of the costumes worn on “The Monkees” television program (NBC 1966-1968) when the band sang “Cuddly Toy” (Estimate: $300-$500), a Davy Jones denim suit with guitar pattern ($200-$400), a collection of studio equipment used by Davy Jones including guitar stands, music stands and a microphone boom (Estimate: $200-$400).

It’s the Monkees Greatest Hits” (Estimate: $200-$400), a green suit worn by Davy Jones in the ABC television film “Hey, Hey It’s the Monkees” (Estimate: $200-$400), a pair of framed vintage posters from “The Monkees” film “Head” (1968) (Estimate: $200-$400), a collection of seven framed posters featuring the members of the “The Monkees” (Estimate: $200-$400), a Crate GX-40C guitar amplifier with levels marked off with tape and a label on the top that reads “Davy” (Estimate: $100-$300), a Stradivarius copy violin inscribed to “David – Happy Birthday! – December 30, 1998” Love Wayne accompanied by a hardshell case (Estimate: $100-$300), a Big Mouth tambourine marked in black ink “The Monkees/Peter Tork/David Jones” (Estimate: $100-$300) and much more.
