Who'll Bid On Bonnie & Clyde's .38 Specials?

The pair of pistols is part of RR Auction's upcoming Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen Auction.

in Amherst has put together quite the themed auction, for those who want a piece of outlaw action. 

The auction, set for Sept. 30, will take place at Crowne Plaza in Nashua. You can link here to register to bid and check out the goods, some of which are listed here.:

  • How about a typed police deposition signed four times by "Alphonse Capone,” during an interrogation for the attempted murder of his former mentor and crime associate John Torrio, dated January 24, 1925. "Everytime something happens I get arrested,” said Capone. This item is expected to fetch $100,000+.
  • Mobster: The Musical? Sort of. Al Capone penned a song while holed up in Alcatraz, "Madonna Mia," framed, signed and inscribed at the bottom to his favorite Jesuit priest: “To my good friend Father Vin Casey with the best in all the world for a Merry Christmas always for you, Alphonse Capone.”
  • Bonnie & Clyde's pistols – his, which was seized from his car in 1930, and hers, which was taped to her thigh at the time of her death. Or, how about Bonnie & Clyde "death car items," including Bonnie Parker’s bloodstained silk stocking and other personal effects removed from the ambushed car; or Clyde Barrow's pocket watch, retrieved from his body and given to his dad.
  • Lucky Luciano's Humidor, including a wooden box of imported Cuban cigars, containing six individually wrapped Belinda Habana's.
