Johnny Cash memorabilia to be auctioned

Johnny Cash’s guitars, his black leather boots and a tin cup from Folsom Prison are among the memorabilia from the late country music star that will be auctioned at Sotheby’s next week.

The collection, including everything from lavish personal items to seven Grammy Awards and black jackets from Cash’s stage performances, will be sold at a three-day auction starting next Tuesday. The items represent about one-third of the Cash estate and are expected to bring more than $1.5 million, Sotheby’s estimated. Proceeds will go to the Cash estate.

Also for auction is a 1987 Rolls-Royce valued at $50,000 to $60,000, two Frederic Remington bronzes valued at $40,000 to $60,000 each and a pair of silver centerpieces from Tiffany & Co. valued at about $15,000 to $20,000.
