Gangster (1913–1976) born Meyer Cohen who was a trusted associate of racketeer Bugsy Siegel. After Siegel’s death in 1947, Cohen acquired Siegel’s West Coast gambling interests and lived extravagantly. After two convictions for income tax violations and 14 years in prison, Cohen pronounced himself a law-abiding citizen. Vintage pearl-finish 7.25 x 9.25 full-length photo of Cohen from his days as a prize-fighter, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To my good friend ‘Mary’ and ‘Red’ wishing you the best of luck and success. Mickey Cohen.” Double matted and framed to an overall size of 14.5 x 16.5. In very good condition, with a noticeable vertical crease through portion of inscription, other scattered creases and ripples, and some mild silvering. Cohen fought from 1930–1933. It was during a 1931 match against featherweight champ Tommy Paul he earned his moniker ‘Gangster Mickey Cohen.’
