Authentic George Patey brick now missing from the current Las Vegas Mob Museum Massacre wall. This brick was bought directly from George Patey when he was selling them before he passed away. I got to know George a couple of years as a fellow Canadian real well. He was as passionate at this subject as I am. George was the highest buyer in 1967 for the North wall section (6\'x10\') at 2122 North Clark Street Chicago. This is where on February 14,1929, George \"Bugs\"Moran\'s men were lined up and shot against by a St. Louis motley crew sent in by the Capone organization to rid itself of the pesky Northsiders. They were the final thorns in Al Capone\'s side to control all of Chicago.This brick is authentic and is rare because of what it means historically, but also because they will never be acquired again due to the fact that Las Vegas Mob museum has purchased the rest from George Patey\'s niece and placed in in their museum. Only a few lucky people bought some before George\'s untimely death.
