Upcoming Valentines Day Massacre Thompson Display


Recommended Posts

The Mob Museum in Las Vegas is doing a display of the two Thompson’s used in the St Valentines Day Massacre next month. I’ve attached the flyer below but the display will be 14 Feb 0900-2100 and 15 Feb 0900-1500. Free for Nevada Residents too so worth the trip if you’re near Vegas.

It would be great to see this St. Valentine's Day Tommy gun display at the "Elliot Ness Fest" in July at the Elliot Ness Museum in Coudersport, PA.

Did Retired Officer Mike Klein give a presentation ?

No unfortunately, there was a huge amount of people so they put the display in the old courtroom and had a conga line filter through. It was a bit disjointed because the guns were on the second floor and all the artifacts were on the third but still worth it.

Original press photo dated December 1929 of weapons seized from killer and armed robber Fred Burkes home after he killed a policeman in St Joseph MI.

The two Thompson Sub Machine Guns in the photo were later found to be the ones used in the St Valentines Day Massacre by ballistics expert Calvin Goddard.
