Italian-born fish peddler, he and Nicola Sacco were charged with armed robbery and murder in Massachusetts. On April 15, 1920, the paymaster and a guard at a South Braintree shoe factory were murdered for $15,776. Sacco and Vanzetti, both anarchists, were arrested. Although the prosecution could not trace the money to the defendants, they were convicted and later executed. Engraved Christmas Card poem, 4.75 x 3.25, signed in fountain pen “Bartolomeo Vanzetti.” The greeting reads in full: “Never a Christmas morning, Never an old Year ends, But someone thinks of someone, Old Thoughts, Old Times, Old Friends.”
In fine condition, with a few faint bends and light toning and soiling. A scarce example as any material from Vanzetti rarely appears for sale.
