The auction sold Al Capone watches and the song of his authorship

in history •  8 years ago 

At an auction in Boston, the collection of things related to the most famous American criminals, for a total of more than $ 100,000, went under the hammer.

The most expensive lot was a pocket watch gangster Al Capone, made in the 1920s in Chicago. The triangular platinum dial on the white gold chain is encrusted with 72 diamonds; On the back side of the case you can see the initials - AC. An unnamed buyer paid more than $ 84,000 for them.

Also, a manuscript of the lyrical musical composition composed by Al Capone in the 1930s in Alcatraz prison was sold - nearly $ 19,000 was given for it.

With the hammer, too, items related to the famous robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow: orders for their arrest ($ 8,000), a letter written by Parker shortly before her death ($ 16,000), and her silver ring with three snake heads ($ 25,000)
