Description

All three S.G.S. Associaties on one check: Gambino, Saltzstein and Schiller’s endorsement on the reverse

Boss of New York’s most powerful crime family and model for The Godfather. Having gained control of various businesses, many illegal, including garbage disposal, stock price manipulation, pornography distribution, topless bars, loansharking, supermarkets, mattresses, pizza parlor equipment, and countless others, Gambino amassed such business acumen that he was persuaded to enter a partnership with Schiller and Henry Saltzstein. The result was a consulting service, S. G. S. Associates, with Gambino charging $40,000 per session. Check on the S.G.S. Associates account, 8.25 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Gambino, countersigned by Saltzstein and payable to George Schiller for $400.00, September 14, 1961. In very good condition, with usual bank stamps, near but not touching the signature, ink splotches, bit of edge toning and wear to the bottom edge. R&R COA.
