Tony Spilotro Boot Knife Artifact Framed Family COA Mafia Casino Las Vegas
Own a Historic Mafia Relic: Tony Spilotro’s Personal Boot Knife – Framed Museum-Quality Display
Mafia collectors and true crime enthusiasts — this is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the rarest, most authentic mob artifacts ever released to the public. Presenting an incredible, one-of-a-kind piece: the actual boot knife used and owned by the infamous Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, one of the most feared and notorious mafia enforcers in American history.
Spilotro, immortalized by Joe Pesci in Martin Scorsese’s iconic film Casino as the character Nicky Santoro, ruled the Las Vegas underworld in the 1970s and '80s with brutal efficiency. This boot knife was his personal last-resort weapon—carried for protection in case he was ever disarmed and needed to defend himself in close quarters.
This artifact is exceptionally rare—very few authentic Tony Spilotro-owned items have ever made it to market. This knife was originally part of a private collection acquired by The Mob Experience in Las Vegas, having come directly from Spilotro’s wife, Nancy Spilotro. It later surfaced at auction through Julien’s Auctions, where we obtained it via a reputable third party. For the first time ever, we are offering this museum-display-grade piece to the public. This was once on display in The Mob Experience which was at the Tropicana Hotel on the Las Vegas strip and was a museum dedicated to mafia figures, and now you can own the very artifact that was on display that hundreds of thousands of people saw with their own eyes!
The framed collage is a Tony Spilotro collector’s dream, featuring:
-
2 8x10 mugshots from separate arrests
-
4 rare 4x6 photographs, including:
-
Tony with his wife Nancy and Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal (portrayed by Robert De Niro in the blockbuster movie "Casino")
-
Tony in handcuffs outside the federal courthouse in Las Vegas
-
The infamous “Hole in the Wall Gang” group shot featuring (from left to right) Spilotro, Frank Cullotta, Ernie Devino, and Joe Blasko
-
A chilling image of the actual Indiana cornfield crime scene, where Tony and his brother were ultimately found by authorities—a key moment famously depicted in Casino
-
This piece includes a Letter of Authenticity from Julien’s Auctions, detailing the knife’s chain of custody from The Mob Experience and Nancy Spilotro herself. The knife—crafted by Western Knife Company—measures approximately 7.5" x 2" and includes the original sheath.
The entire display is professionally, museum-quality custom framed in a shadowbox with:
-
Marble brown and black suede double matting
-
Tony’s name precision-cut into the top layer of the matting
-
A polished black wood frame under glass
-
A gold metal nameplate detailing the item’s significance
-
Final dimensions: 30" x 28" x 2.5" — ready to hang the moment it arrives
Whether you’re curating a mafia memorabilia collection, outfitting your man cave, or adding an elite piece to your true crime display, this framed artifact is unmatched in rarity, presentation, and authenticity.
Don’t miss the chance to own a genuine artifact from one of the most feared mobsters in U.S. history. Items like this simply don’t surface—when they do, they’re gone fast.
