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. S. G. S. Associates check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Gambino and countersigned by his partner Henry H. Saltzstein, payable to Cash Expense for $7.90, June 29, 1960. Check is also endorsed on the reverse by Henry Saltzstein as well. In fine condition, with expected stamps and holes and a red cancellation stroke through a small portion of last name of signature.
