Items belonging to the late Johnny Cash fetched $1.2m (£692,000) on the first day at auction in New York on Tuesday. Sotheby's had originally estimated the three-day sale would raise about $1.5m, but the final total is now likely to exceed that.
A custom-made acoustic guitar - expected to reach $20,000 (£11,650) - sold for $131,200 (£73,200). Other items to fetch more than the expected prices were a photo of Elvis Presley given to Cash's wife, inscribed "June, I love you", which sold for $18,000 (£10,000) and pair of silver Tiffany centrepieces which made £42,000 (£23,300). A striped prisoner's jacket, presented to Cash by a warden after he performed at Folsome Prison, sold for $6,000 (£3,350).
Still up for sale at the auction, which ends later today, are several of Cash's trademark black jackets, a 1987 Rolls Royce and the grand piano featured in Cash's last video, 'Hurt'.
The sale's proceeds will go to Cash's estate.
