mug shots!

[Canadave]

Those were the days...when criminals knew how to wear a hat!

Meyer Lansky -

Bugsy Siegel -

Machine gun Kelly -

I guess they were required to wear their "trademarks" for their mug shots.

PS Comments on the specific hats...?

Would you buy a used machinegun from this man? LOL

From the above mug shots, it appears that Capone and Matt have the coolest hats.

I couldn't find any photos of either Pretty Boy Floyd or Baby-faced Nelson in fedoras.

Here's another, a famous couple. He wore fedoras, she wore berets.

Matt,

I wish I looked as good in a hat as you do! I especially like the one you wear in your avatar.

Wow, Retro Grouch, you found photos of Nelson in a fedora. I like the other guy's hat better.

I seem to be running out of mug shots, but thought I would attempt to display the other side of the law:

Eliot Ness

One of my heroes. Judging by the cars, it was probably taken while he was the Public Safety Director for the City of Cleveland.

More Eliot Ness

Here's a picture of yours truely in front of 2271 Lumber Street in Chicago. Anyone familiar with the Untouchables, the book not the movie, will recognize that as the address of the first brewery raided by the "Capone Special Squad."

Ah so you want to get tough eh? All rights you mugs, try this on for size, see!

These were taken at a friend's house. He was about to start restoration on this 1934 Oldsmobile four door. I was asked by a friend of mine to take some photos in my vintage clothes with his car. That suit is a late 30’s wool double breasted. The tie is a late 30's silk tie with one of the best Art Deco patterns! I'll have to take a photo of it by it's self soon. The sun glasses are real 1930's green colored glasses as well. The Tommy gun is a replica of a live one. It's made just like the real thing, but made to never fire. And the hat is a 50's Church Hill straw. These photos were taken in 1998.

Talk about a Babyface!

K.D,
All it takes is dogged searching abilities. LOL I came across some "good guys" this was a mugshot thread.

I am surprised you haven't gotten a call from Hollywood. Especially in that first photo.

Return of Scarface, or some cool movie.

But I didn't see a scar. So, maybe Son of Scarface.

Cool outfit and hat and tommygun (is that what they called those things?)


Retro Grouch --

Yes, I love surfing the net and researching, too. We who do so can usually find anything. I tell folks it is like having a public library in my home.

How did we ever live without computers?
