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 in another hand and signed by George Schiller and Henry Saltzstein, payable to Carlo Gambino for 400.00, November 22, 1961. Endorsed on the back in blue ink, "Carlo Gambino," with another signature underneath. In fine condition, with three vertical creases, cancellation holes and stamps, some light creases and a clean endorsement area. RRAuction COA.
