Meyer Lansky's personally-gifted impressive 14K gold triangular Masonic pocket watch made by Hiram, measuring approximately 2 x 1.75, featuring a case engraved on all sides with Masonic symbolism, a dark blue face with raised gold-tone Masonic symbols, and a winding stem topped with a blue stone cabochon. The interior of the case is marked "Hiram Watch Inc., 14K, No. 215," and it contains a 15-jewel Elgin movement. In very good to fine condition, with a cloudy plastic crystal; the watch seems to be nonfunctioning with a frozen movement. This watch was gifted to Teddy's daughter-in-law, and it was later passed on to Teddy's granddaughter Cynthia. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Meyer Lansky’s step-granddaughter Cynthia Duncan. Provenance: The Thelma Lansky Trust. Interestingly, President Warren G. Harding—who voted in favor of Prohibition while in the Senate—owned an example of the same watch, serial numbered 145. A fantastic timepiece with beautiful craftsmanship which is desirable on its own, made all the more valuable as one of Lansky's personal possessions.
