Whitey Bulger Authentic SIGNED Handwriting Sample Alcatraz Photo Display Mafia:
$575.00
This sale is for a small (5x7-inch) display, which includes an original, fully authentic (not a reprint or printed copy) handwriting sample from the notorious organized crime figure James “Whitey” Bulger. The small sample, cut from an envelope (postmarked April 1, 2014), is permanently affixed with an archival (non-bleed) glue to a printed cardstock. The envelope return address has an official prison stamp and was filled out by Bulger in his own hand while incarcerated at the United States Federal Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona. The small cut segment has been affixed to a custom-printed cardstock display with his Alcatraz mugshot portrait.IMPORTANT NOTE: The white cut segment is real, while the mugshot photo and rap sheet display is a non-original print on heavy cardstock. This is the last one I have for sale...
The handwriting sample included in this display was penned following his trial, while isolated in his prison cell. I obtained this while aiding on a history project chronicling Bulger's criminal life and years on Alcatraz. Bulger led Boston's Winter Hill Gang, leaving a trail of violence and corruption. His early criminal career included stints in juvenile detention and prison. Alcatraz was a chapter in his story. Imprisoned there for bank robbery in 1959, he kept a low profile, but his criminal ambitions remained. Released in 1965, Bulger rose within the Winter Hill Gang. It is alleged that he also acted as an FBI informant against rivals, using this to protect his own criminal activities. This double life led to his flight in 1994. After 16 years as a fugitive, rising to #1 on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, he was captured and sentenced to life, convicted of racketeering, 11 murders, extortion, money laundering, and weapons charges. He was murdered in prison in 2018 by a known hitman from the Italian Mafia. Bulger remains one of the most infamous organized crime figures in American history.
NOTE: Does not include display stand or ruler. Free PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING in the USA.
CONDITION: There are some very light scuffs in the plastic of the display case, and the display card with the signature is not perfectly centered. The photos accurately reflect the condition of the display and the affixed artifact. One of the screws seems a little loose or lightly stripped. The cardstock can easily be removed from the display, but the actual sample has been permanently glued to the cardstock and there is no way to remove it. You could cut the signature on the card for a different display if desired. Related Items:
