Telly Savalas featured in a discriminating new line of memorabilia
08/27/03

Telly Savalas became famous for his tough-talking, bald-headed, lollipop-licking character on Kojak (1973-78). Before the police drama put him in the limelight, Savalas enjoyed an extensive career on the big screen. His facial features often led him to portray villains, including James Bond?s foe in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). His talented portrayal of unconventional characters made Savalas one of the most recognizable and popular actors of his time

It was for these and many other reasons that Telly Savalas came to mind when established high-end memorabilia provider ProTour Memorabilia wanted to launch an exciting new division of products. After successfully securing their position as the exclusive licensee for PGA Tour framed memorabilia, ProTour has diversified into a wide range of framed celebrity display pieces.

ProTour has jump started their new line by harnessing the demand for memorabilia dedicated to many of the worlds greatest legends.

Also featured are musicians Buddy Holly and Ella Fitzgerald, sports immortals Babe Ruth, Rocky Marciano and Arthur Ashe, and historical figures General George S. Patton, Jr. and Amelia Earhart.

Each framed piece is double matted and may include elements such as a candid photograph, biography, brass nameplate and an engraved or facsimile signature reproduction. As an added service to their customers, ProTour will also engrave the memorabilia free of charge. These items will be available worldwide, with retail prices starting at $49.99 USD.
