Dobbs Fifth Avenue New York brown with black band Fedora size 6 7/8. Personally owned and worn by Meyer Lansky (Mob's Accountant). Item comes with an unsigned photo of Meyer Lansky.

Lansky developed a gambling empire which stretched across the world. He was said to own points in casinos in Las Vegas, Cuba, The Bahamas, and London. Although a member of the Jewish Mob, Lansky undoubtedly had strong influence with the Italian Mafia and played a large role in the consolidation of the criminal underworld (although the full extent of this role has been the subject of some debate, as he himself denied many of the accusations against him). Despite all the reports, Lansky was never found guilty of anything more serious than illegal gambling.

Item comes with an official Sandi Lansky LOA for authenticity purposes.

Authentication: Sandi Lansky LOA
