Meyer Lansky Hanukkah card signed. The so-called ''Mob's Accountant'' signs ''Meyer Lansky'' in blue ink at the conclusion of printed text that reads: ''CHANUKAH / The Festival of Light / Candles Brightly Shining Through / The Dark of Night / As They Glow / Our Pride Glows Too / And Joyously We Wish / A Happy Chanukah / To You''. Lansky, of Russian Jewish descent, was one of the most notorious characters in the mafia underworld and has been credited with consolidating power in the enterprise. Upon his prosecution in the United States, he tried to flee to Israel, but the Israeli government would not take him, the only Jewish person to whom they've denied entry. Card measures 3'' x 5''. With ink notation reading ''1970'' to bottom right corner. Near fine and scarce.
