Gangster-items auction nets more than $100,000

BOSTON — Artifacts connected to some of America’s most notorious gangsters have sold for more than $100,000 US at an auction house.

Boston-based RR Auction said a diamond pocket watch that belonged to Al Capone fetched the most — $84,375 — at the auction on Saturday in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A handwritten musical composition by Capone went for $18,750. The musical piece, Humoresque, was written when Capone was in Alcatraz in the 1930s.

An autographed “So Long” letter from Bonnie and Clyde sold for $16,250. Bonnie Parker’s three-headed snake ring fetched $25,000.

A letter written by John Gotti didn’t sell.
