Description

Sky’s the limit with Lansky

Legendary organized crime leader. Lansky was the godfather of the national crime syndicate that emerged in the early 1930s as successor of the warring Prohibition gangs as well as the old-line Mafia. Forming friendships and alliances with Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel, Lansky directed Murder, Inc. Personal check, 6.5 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Lansky, payable to Eastern Airlines for $178.03, November 29, 1948. In fine condition, with expected stamps and holes and a trivial brush to first letter of last name of signature. One wonders where was Lansky flying in November of 1948? Was it to meet Bugsy Siegal in Vegas? LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
