Bonnie & Clyde Auctioned Off

Bonnie Park & Clyde Barrow
In the 1930s the United States was the place to hear about gangsters like Lester "Baby Face" Nelson and Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd.  But no gangsters name is as synonymous with the word "legend" like Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.

The American outlaws weapons of choice were a .38 caliber for Bonnie and a .45 caliber of the same make for Clyde.   An auction official estimated that the guns could bring anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000 in September.  The auction will be held in New Hampshire.


According to the article, "They were pretty famous in their moment and I think that's lasted through time," said Bobby Livingston, vice president of RR Auction in Amherst, N.H."  Other items will also be going up for sale of the infamous outlaws including a gold pocket watch Clyde was wearing when he died and a cosmetics case of Bonnie's.
