Description
Rare JiM Colosimo’s cafe restaurant matchbook 1940’s front strike used and empty but in good condition
Listed on the cover of this matchbook is literally a "who's who" of legendary celebrities and gangsters during the prohibition era. The matchbook, from "Jim Colosimo's Cafe" in Chicago, features legendary singer Al Jolson as the headline entertainer, backed by famed composer Isham Jones' band, and also lists the incomparable nightclub queen, Texas Guinan, as the M.C. As noted on the bottom of the lid, the nightclub is managed by one, Al Capone. The reverse of the matchbook urges patrons to " Vote For 'Big Bill' Thompson " for Mayor of Chicago. Jim Colosimo was one of Chicago's biggest underworld figures at the start of prohibition, having made his money as a pimp. The Colosimo Cafe, which was owned by him, was the top night spot in Chicago, regularly patronized by numerous stars and celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Clarence Darrow. When Capone first arrived in Chicago he went to work for Johnny Torrio, his mentor from Brooklyn, who inherited "Big Jim's" criminal empire after he was assassinated in 1920. A rare memento relating to Capone's early criminal career. OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL EVENTS… Im sure most people would realize that it is not factual. Vote For "Big Bill" Thompson Diamond Match DIV Chicago Illinois This matchbook is used as you can see. It is a rare find in any condition. Please see all pictures provided.Payments & Returns
