This comes to us from a hot tip by reader Mitch Curtis of Pinball Over Boston. And we'll get this out of the way now - buyer beware! We cannot verify the legitimacy of this listing, but the story certainly sounds interesting. Also there's a handwritten letter explaining all of it (which could never be faked ever). If you could verify the authenticity it'd be a heck of a collectors item.
Just two days ago an old pinball machine was quietly listed on Facebook Marketplace in scenic Brockton, Massachusetts. The game is a bit of a rarity on its own, a 1948 copy of Banjo by pinball manufacturer Exhibit Supply Co., a pinball manufacturer that didn't even make it out of the 1950s. Which could be cool enough by itself, but supposedly this particular game was once owned by The King himself, Elvis Presley, in the 1950s.
The game found its way to Massachusetts through the ownership of one Tempest Storm, the so-called "Queen of Exotic Dancers".

The game, as you'll see in the photos below, needs a lot of love! As the story goes, Tempest owned the game but rarely maintained it (or played it) which means that it's very likely the last person to nudge on this table was the Pelvis of Elvis.
