cbmott Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) 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.

Player_To_Be_Named Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wow, I have been to the Mob Museum once. It was interesting as heck. Too bad it's a billion miles away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmott Posted February 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I went to the display this morning. It was a good time seeing the guns as well as the ballistic testing artifacts together. First time I’ve been able to see them up close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiz Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player_To_Be_Named Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 That is awesome, Frank, thanks for the links. Enjoyed reading very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmott Posted February 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
