Boss of New York’s most powerful crime family and model for The Godfather. Having gained control of various businesses, many illegal, including garbage disposal, stock price manipulation, pornography distribution, topless bars, loansharking, supermarkets, mattresses, pizza parlor equipment, and countless others, Gambino amassed such business acumen that he was persuaded to enter a partnership with Schiller and Henry Saltzstein. The result was a consulting service, S. G. S. Associates, with Gambino charging $40,000 per session. S. G. S. Associates check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Gambino and Henry Saltzstein, payable to Carlo Gambino for $1000.00, July 3, 1961. Suede matted and framed with a portrait of Gambino, to an overall size of 25 x 19. In fine condition, with cancellation holes and stamps, some vertical creases and a nice signature area. R&R COA.
