Unfinished silver collection for 1950s/60s icon (5)
I believe the answer is:
elvis
'1950s60s icon' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'unfinished silver collection' is the wordplay.
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'collection' indicates anagramming the letters (the same collection of letters).
'silver' with its last letter taken off is 'silve'.
'silve' anagrammed gives 'ELVIS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elvis that I've seen before include "Musically, The King" , "Mister Presley for one" , "'The King' (singer)" , "Singers Presley or Costello" , "The familiar King of rock music" .)
