The Lefty Rosenthal Watch is Being Auctioned Off

If they could auction off John Lennon’s rotten tooth, why not Lefty Rosenthal’s gold watch?  The current bid on the watch was just over $4000 with the starting bid actually set at $1.

Rosenthal was the famed sports bettor and Las Vegas casino executive alleged to have had ties with organized crime.  He was regularly seen in the company of prominent Chicago Outfit members Jackie Cerone and Fiore Buccieri while living in Miami.  He was listed in the notorious Las Vegas “Black Book” and essentially banned from betting in that city. 

Rosenthal survived an assassination attempt, in October 1982, after his car was rigged with explosives.

He was the subject for the film Casino.
