Item Details
Description
Al Capone
n.p., n.d.
Al Capone?s Personally Owned & Used Napkin. From the Estate of Al Capone. Provenance: His Granddaughter Barbara Mae Capone.
Al Capone's Dinner Napkin, 15" x 15". Sourced directly from Al Capone's Granddaughter Barbara Mae Capone. In fine condition, with some staining from use.

As to be expected from an Italian mob figure of Capone?s stature, a lot of his life revolved around entertaining his friends, family and mobsters with food & drinks. The planning of many criminal events likely occurred around his opulent dinner table.

Was this dinner napkin used to serve the final meal enjoyed by a fellow mobster? Was it used at the dinner at which the Chicago Outfit planned out The Valentine?s Day Massacre or could it have been used during the holidays at the Capone?s? Just think of the people who could have enjoyed a meal at his home!

Born in 1899 to poor immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York, Al Capone went on to become the most infamous gangster in American history. In 1917, he got into a fight at a bar where he was working as a bouncer and was slashed in the face with a knife. This was how he acquired the name "Scarface". In 1920 during the height of Prohibition, Capone's multi-million dollar Chicago bootlegging, prostitution and gambling operation dominated the organized crime scene. Al Capone is best known for his violence and ruthlessness in the elimination of his rivals.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
