In overall fine condition. The infamous Fischetti brothers were high-ranking members of the Chicago outfit and first cousins of Al Capone, for whom they served as bodyguards and drivers.

In 1946 they accompanied the singer to Cuba to meet with Lucky Luciano at the Havana Conference, where it is believed that they received the contract to kill Bugsy Siegel.
