RESEARCH BRIEF.
THE MAFIA - PRODUCTION.
While investigating into the type of cigars and lighter preferred by the gangster Al Capone, I stubbled on this.
This is Al Capone's actual lighter that was auctioned off on eBay. it was originally put on eBay at around £6.198.45, however no bids had been made.
It is interesting to find out the type of lighter Al Capone preferred, and tho lighter has even been personalised which, after a bit more research, is quite a common thing.
While on Ebay I found some interesting things related to the Al Capone lighter page. There is various Vintage Ronson lighter adverts from magazines and news papers. These would be interesting things to have and look at and may give more of an atmosphere to the consumer when they receive the lighter.
I also found this Photo-card of Vito genovese along with mugshots and fingerprints.
I found that there are many vintage ronson lighters available, second hand on Ebay.

When trying to gather more information on the type of weaponry Al capone carried, I cam across this auction website that gave information on a revolver pistol that was previously owned by Capone himself. this website offers all the information about the gun which will be very helpful when creating an info graphic.

I took this diagram of a revolver gun to aid my making of an info graphic to accompany my gun box.
