New York, November 28, 2006 – If you wanted to get into David Cassidy’s pants back in the ‘70s, now’s your chance. The one-time teen heartthrob has placed some of his costumes from that era up for auction for charity. Picture yourself in those custom dark blue polyester overalls that he wore onstage in 1974! Hot!

Cassidy personally dropped off some of the memorabilia, which in addition to clothing includes musical instruments and awards, at the Hard Rock Café in New York City, where it will be on display until December 1. While we were disappointed not to find the Partridge Family bus on exhibit, we did chat with Cassidy as he checked out an iconic lunchbox from the 1970s TV sitcom.

He claimed that as a boy, he didn’t even have a lunchbox, but instead walked to school carrying lunch in a brown paper bag. “I did have a Hop-Along Cassidy watch”, he told us. “I don’t know what happened to that. It’s probably worth a fortune”, David added.

Overall, the pop music star admitted that he is not really a collector, and doesn’t mind letting his stuff go. The auction is online at thru December 16 at juliensauctions.com
