Lot 461: Carlo Gambino Signed Checks (11)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Scary bank checks from the man on whom Don Corleone of The Godfather was based. Eleven total date from the early 1960's. They are each signed in mint ink by the Don. Interesting payees include two to "Bing & Bing" (curiously like the Bada Bing). Half have marks that barely touch the signature o/w the checks themselves are near perfect. Interesting to note that they are also signed by his Jewish "Meyer Lansky" names George Schiller.
