Originally given to John Tobin, Boston Police Department detective and officer during the 1940s and '50s. This dollar sign designed gold and silver money clip (1.75") is engraved "to John from Frank Sinatra." When not on the job with the Boston Police Department, Tobin would often take on side jobs as a bodyguard for celebrities including Frank Sinatra. Often included in his pay were interesting mementos and keepsakes such as this high quality and specially made money clip. Included is a 11x14" Type I from one of Tobin's "side jobs" featuring Frank Sinatra meeting with His Eminence Richard James Cardinal Cushing.
