Have you ever wanted to own a Flying Elvis suit? Is that empty spot on your wall calling for some Natty Boh neon signage and other memorabilia?
After closing its Towson and Canton restaurants last month, Nacho Mama’s is auctioning off some of the items that decorated their dining establishments.
Nacho Mama’s will auction off memorabilia related to the Baltimore Orioles, Baltimore Ravens, former Baltimore Colts, Elvis Presley, and National Bohemian beer.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 8, the auction has been postponed due to inclement weather. Weather permitting, the auction will now take place Saturday, Feb. 15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Nacho Mama’s Towson, located at 2 W. Pennsylvania Ave.
Attendees can RSVP by clicking this link.
An array of items will be up for bid, including an original suit worn by one of the “Flying Elvises,” the skydiving Elvis impersonators in the 1992 film “Honeymoon in Vegas.”
Other auction items include a signed Brooks Robinson Baltimore Orioles jersey, a Johnny Unitas football, a framed Life magazine cover from 1995 commemorating what would have been Elvis Presley’s 60th birthday, neon signs featuring National Bohemian mascot “Mr. Boh,” and other pieces.
Space is limited and will be first come, first serve. Small purses are allowed, but backpacks and large bags are prohibited.
If you are bringing children, they must be accompanied at all times. And make sure those little hands are kept to themselves; if you break something, you buy it.
Thirty years after opening their first restaurant in Canton, Nacho Mama’s closed the original Canton location as well as their second location in Towson in January.
However, their sister restaurants, Mama’s on the Half Shell in Canton and Owings Mills, are staying open.
“Thank you, Baltimore, for giving us the ride of a lifetime,” the restaurants’ owners wrote in an email message in December. “It has been our honor to serve you. As we ride off into the sunset with a smile and a wink to the sky, we say, ‘Thank You, Thank You Very Much.’”
