Mafia Collectors!!! Check out this unbelievable one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia from the infamous mafia figure Al Capone!! This framed collage features an original prison document from the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia from Al's very 1st prison sentence of his life. On May 16, 1929, Capone stopped in Philly while traveling from Atlantic City, NJ heading back to his home in Chicago, IL. He was arrested outside the Stanley Movie Theater for carrying a concealed, unlicensed .38 caliber revolver. The Philadelphia courts were tough. They handed Capone the maximum sentence: one year in prison, where he ended up serving 7 months of his sentence and had to pay a fine of 1 cent.
This document enclosed in the frame is an Internal Prison Record Card that has all sorts of information about when would be the earliest he would be released, his full name, his age, ethnicity, his prisoner ID # which was #C5527, the court and judge that sentenced him and more. This document is an internal document, so prison workers would have his background and be in the know about Capone and what his time would look like being incarcerated. A prison worker even wrote a note on it stating "To be discharged by Phila. Co. Jail and the worker's name. If you are looking for a real item tied to Capone and his life and mafia background and not just a random item like a picture of him or a random object that can't be tied back to him actually owning or using, then this the item for you! Tracking down ANYTHING related to him personally and not even tied to his criminal past is next to impossible, as collector's have items and rarely sell them. This is a serious collector's piece for the ultimate mafia or Capone collector.
In addition to the main piece of this frame which is the prison document, there is an original wire photo that was intended for newspapers to post in their articles for visual purposes for their readers. The photo is the bottom left photo where pictured is the Eastern State Penitentiary and fans, gawkers and media members waiting for Al to arrive to the prison to begin his sentence. The photo is an original from the time period of his sentence. It is a historic item that just adds to the incredible story of this prison card. In addition, enclosed in the frame is a reproduction of the original fingerprints of Al Capone taken at the Eastern State Penitentiary on the day he turned himself in! Wow! Lastly, we have included mugshots of Capone and prop bullets into the frame to round out an incredible piece!
