A keen eye can spot an original item that was owned by Billie Frechette.

nope-both are original but not owned by Frechette.

 

The square small glass thing, shaped like a large key-hole, is an original picture of Billie Frechette in a circus-type novelty thing, says, Thinking of You. It was part of her collection of things, taken post Dillinger about 1941 in Chicago. Coffee cup came from a old mining site in the mountains of Colorado, it's actually a shaving mug. Keys are to a 1934 Ford, key chain is from the Chicago Worlds Fair 1933 ( yes JD was there ) Rest just personal props.

wood gun a replica of the one he used at Crown Point. L drum is a Stanley drum, other stuff you should know( 38 super not 45)

Can't imagine what that real scene might of been like. It's my thinking that JD's lawyer found the 1933 Essex Terraplane, that I used to own, for Billie to give to John ( maybe thru Hubert) after the escape. A Mrs. Dillinger had visited John 3 days before the escape. Hmmmm. The lawyer didn't want any paperwork tied to him, so the car was purchased by Billie- Then off they went with the two Thompsons from Crown Point to make bank withdrawals.
