Caponeophile Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's a couple of weeks now and it's been recently confirmed that The Las Vegas Mob Museum has bought the Massacre bullet evidence collection from Neal Trickel. They will be expanding their massacre display. http://www.myalcaponemuseum.com/id186.htm Mario Gomeshttp://www.myalcaponemuseum.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Nice to see my old pal, Mario, on the Thomson forum. Not probably, but the best guy on Capone on Earth. OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caponeophile Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thank-you Sandy! I appreciate that compliment coming from my peers! You and Helmer have always steered me right in the collecting dept. and I'm grateful for it! Here is my latest acquisition. Al Capone's 1927 custom made shirt. http://www.myalcaponemuseum.com/id215.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostsoldier Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I love that diagram (on your web page) of how much it cost Al to "look Snorky", Mario; and to think, today I could afford the same outfit as Al...but, not in 1920 dollars! But not a $275.00 belt buckle...that's exorbitant, even today, lol. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Outstanding ! I always loved the background research on these historical items , almost as much as the item itself. The damn auto-bandits of the 30s weren't as public as your Mr. Capone, unless they got caught.Can't really see Bonnie & Clyde having dinner with Mr. Capone. Haaaaaaaa Great stuff Mario.

gijive Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Mario, Welcome to the Thompson Board. I haven't corresponded with you for a few years but have something I'd like to get your opinion on. I'll send you a PM about it.

Caponeophile Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I would have loved this Massacre evidence going to a Thompson collector museum rather than the Lost Vegas Knob Museum but hey that's life! That's the owner's choice. I was asked about the legal ramifications and if CPD could claim the stuff? I don't think CPD especially the City Of Chicago wants anything to do with this stuff in their city. They are so anti Capone or gangster era.

Caponeophile Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well here is their official announcement! Funny they should say first time public sees this stuff. It's only been on my website for the past 4 years.
