Description

Scarce letter from the Mafia’s notorious boss

New York Mafia boss (1897–1962) instrumental in the development of organized crime in the US; he was responsible for splitting the Mafia into five different crime families. ALS signed “Charlie,” one page, 6 x 8, October 16, 1960. Letter to his friend “Barney,” the Hollywood producer Barnett Glassman. In full: “Just a few lines to let you know, that I’m alright, and I hope you are the same. I hope you get my letter of a few days before this. Barney, please answer these two letters. My best to you and your wife.” Matted and framed with images and a plaque to an overall size of 22 x 22. In fine condition. Glassman and Luciano made a deal in 1959 to create a film based on the mobster’s life, but the project never came to fruition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
