And actual SING SING PRISON Wardens Record Card (rap sheet) January 1944
Stole GUN, War Bonds and Money. I think I qualify to post in the Lounge because it was a COLT gun!
How do I know that? I think the Butts gang (see rap sheet) would only go after a Colt.
The only gun to steal if the penalty is going "up the river" to SING SING!
And besides the ring leader Tommy Lonardo was a high paid ($175 a week) AMMUNITION LOADER on the docks between hold-ups.

So GUNS and AMMO are discussed on the "Rap Sheet" And I collect U.S. WAR BONDS with my militaria collections.
He was paroled Dec 1948 barely 4 years for a hold-up involving guns and U.S. Treasury Securities (War Bonds).
Maybe he went back doing essential war work, loading ammo. $175 a week was a lot of money compared to being a plumber $45 a week!

In this day of baggy shorts gangbangers, it's refreshing to see such a well groomed felon.

Oh those wily Italians back in the day. Notice how this fella wasn't a first timer. Think at $175 a week, a princely sum back then, he'd be on the up and up. Made man? Who can tell. He was a well dressed thief.

Everyone had more class back then, even the criminals

Here is what the WAR BOND looked like but it it is not the stolen gun
it is my 1925 COLT Police Positive .32
