Lefty Ruggerio





Don Cardi

Joe "the boss" Masseria


Here's mine.

That was "Fat" Tony Salerno.

Who is this well known wiseguy? (Its not his best picture).

He doesn't look like him but is it John Gotti? I remember a picture of him were it also look like he had a gunshot in his head...
But i'm not sure if this is John Gotti

Thats him! The picture was taken after he had a fight (and lost) with another prison inmate. [July 18, 1996]

Your turn to post a pic, juventus.

WOW SC! You even stumped this Gotti historian with that pic! Holy cow!

Juventus, I believe that it is your turn to post a pic!


Don Cardi

Who is this?

I'm going to say Toto Riina.

But I will not post a picture until Juventus says that I am correct.


Don Cardi

Whoever he is he's the spitting image of the guy who plays Seinfeld's father:

I guarantee you can post your pic DC. Sicilian Mafia is my part of the game.....

When Bugsy was killed they found his eye ball five feet from his body. What was the importance of the distance? or was there none?

I guarantee you can post your pic DC. Sicilian Mafia is my part of the game..... [/b][/quote]Ok, here goes :




Don Cardi

I'm sorry that i didn't react. It was Toto Riina.

Wasn't that The Artichoke King Ciro Terranova?
If so this is mine:

Pablo Escobar, Medellin-Cartel of Colombia.

Don Cardi

Would that possibly be Legs Diamond? Won't post a pic in case I'm wrong.

Diamond is correct Iceman, so go ahead and post a pic!


Don Cardi

Ok New One

Ok, I gave 5 hours for someone else to identify SC's pic, so now I'm going to identify it and post a new one : SC's pic is Larry Gallo.




Don Cardi

Looks like no-one knows

Ok, hint : He is the son of an infamous NY gangster who retired out west!


Don Cardi

Is It Bill Bonnono

If so:

Henry Hill.

Again looks like nobody knows,not even turnbull

I'm going to take a shot and say it's Tommy DeSimone.


Don Cardi

Most pics aren't hard.....even if you don't know anything about Mafia/Cosa Nostra.... [/b][/quote]MM Floors, i agree. I dont recognize any of these mobsters, but I know most of their names. Wonder how this game is going on so long :p

Right click on your mouse and click on properties and it sometimes tells you the name of the gangters in the address(Don't tell no one though)

Vittorio Amuso.

Profeci

Vincent Gigante.

I'll give you a clue. He is acting-Boss of the Genovese Family.

Dominick Cirillo.

Ah, Ive seen that guy all over the place. who is he?

Slim, that's the whole idea of this topic! To try and guess who the gangster in the picture is that someone posts! Not to ask for the answer! Why don't you try and give it a shot?

Don Cardi

This is very simple. I'll give you a clue: He succeeded Gaetano Gagliano as Boss of a popular New York family.

Still looks like nobody knows,think we need the answer

Gaetano Lucchese.

I will allow you, DE NIRO, to post the next picture.

Alphonse Capone.

This is a picture of another Chicago mobster.

suntimes.com/special_sections/crime/images/mob/colosimo.jpg

I deliberately kept the picture's original properties, so someone could actually name the gangster in one of my pictures.

Its been a week,do i have the blessing from a moderater to post a pic

"As long as your business does not conflict with mine."
Go right ahead!


Don Cardi

Thanks Dc your a gent

Yes.

Thank you...


Guess who?

Guess Who?

Granvo

I did that one only 2 posts ago,which you got right

Genovese
(Well I didnt notice )

Now tell me the name of this Dangerous Gangster!!!!

Baby gangster

Tommy.....

You got the first name right,need his last name

I dont remember...

Is he an italian???
at least tell me from which crime family he is?

If i tell you what family he is from then that will give you his name

Tommy Gambino.



This mobster is the legal proprietor of a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.

This mobster is also the Boss of a rising New York Family.

Looks like nobody knows,post a new pic

New Pic

Carlo Gambino

Anthony Spilotro.



If someone doesn't post this gangster's name, I will shoot myself.

The person above is Vince Coll...

Finally. It's your turn to post a picture of a gangster, Sammy the Bull.

Ill post one shell i

John Gotti.



This gangster was ordered to be murdered by Paul Castellano.

Roy Demeo

One of Hoffa's three nemeses, "Tony Jack" Giacalone...


All right then, here is a very easy one:

FRANK "LEFTY" ROSENTHAL! lol i knew it look so familiar and i knew it but i just couldnt get it in my head until now! hard to believe no else found it.

Are you referring to my photo? That person wasn't even close to Rosenthal... different cities, different bosses, different lifestyles...

The character in your photo is Henry Pi..., er, Hill.

I can give a hint about him: he had a pet cat.

DAMNIT. i feel s0o freakin stupid. i mean LEFTY RUGERRIO. but not sure yet? its him right?

If DS don't respond I'm 99% sure that's him.

Yes, that's Benny the Lefty. (The cat was, of course, Lion the lion )

I have his half-naked photo somewhere, too, but I wanted to spare the horror...

It is Benjamin Ruggiero.

Thats Salvatore Maranzano

How to you put pics on here

Tony Accardo

New One

Vito Genovese.

untitled5li

This mobster was Underboss, and is now suspected of being acting-Boss of the Lucchese Family.

Gaetano "Tommy" Lucchese

You didn't post the name of the mobster in the picture in my post.

New One

Don Carlo Gambino

Roselli

------------
guess who?

Aniello Dellacroce.

Paul Cicero(sp)

Carlo Gambino

Thomas Eboli.



This mobster is acting-Boss of New York's most powerful Family.

Do not post another image until you have posted the name of the mobster in this picture.

That picture was of Paul VARIO. Paul Cicero was a fictional character (based on Vario).

Nobody identified this earlier picture. Its Gaetano Badalamenti.

Sorry to interrupt the game.

Pete, is yours Dominic Cirillo?

If so...

Peter Gotti.

Meyer Lansky





And Certificate of Authenticity is NOT the answer.


Don Cardi

Joe Bananas.

Little Nicky Scarfo of Philadelphia

Ha!

Do not look at the filename. Look at the photo.

The task still stands - name the man below, the man who most certainly is not Nicodemo Scarfo.

well, what can I say, guilty as charged

Yes, I only looked at the file name, but upon seeing Scarfo's name there, I still thought it was him, I do know what he looks like.



there's a bit of a resemblance
anyway, I dont know who yours is
just thought id tell you that Im not cheating

Joey The Clown Lombardo of The Chicago Outfit?

Sammy, wanna post an answer or give us a clue so we can move on?

Hello? Sammy?

Sammy hasnt posted on the BB in 6 days so Im gonna just move on. Sammy, if you read this, we'd all like to know who your picture was of. Our best guess was Joey Lombardo.

Here's mine.

Philip Leonetti
----------------
Guess who???


Piece of cake...

;)
Someone else can post one now.

;)
Someone else can post one now. [/b][/quote]Who's someone else ???

That includes you. :p

Henry Hill

Don Cardi

DC, I'm not sure but is it Bugsy Siegel?

If so

[img]http://www.scusa.com/family/photos/celebrity_mugshots/images/76/original.aspx[/img]

Sorry no it isn't Keep guessing

Sorry no it isn't Keep guessing

E Lucky your is Joe Valachi

Back to mine
[/b][/quote]Bugs Moran.

Joe Valachi is correct.

Is the above a bad shot of Alphonse Capone?

Here another one:

[img]http://www.scusa.com/family/photos/celebrity_mugshots/images/77/500x333.aspx[/img]

No it isn't Capone

Yours is Michael Francese

Back to mine

Dion O'Banion.

Joe "Da Boss" Masseria








Don Cardi

You been smokin' those funny cigarettes? [/b][/quote]I looked at "properties" and it said Capone. I already tought he didn't resemble Capone very much, but hey, it's not like I'm gonna do some real thinking.

And the cigarettes were gooooood.

You been smokin' those funny cigarettes? [/b][/quote]I looked at "properties" and it said Capone. [/b][/quote]That's called cheating Enzo! :p And it's exactly why I changed the name in the properties for my picture!




Don Cardi

sm...

Salvatore Machiavelli?

Another guy trying to cheat!

No, it's not Machiavelli.


Don Cardi

Ok, here's a hint : He was involved with The Flamingo Hotel in the early days of Las Vegas.


Don Cardi

Bugsy Siegel?

No.


Don Cardi

It's Little Moe Sedway, who (along with Gus Greenbaum) took over the Flamingo within an hour of Bugsy's assassination.
(Sorry I can't post a picture.)

This is why Turnbull is a good man.

I'll post one for you Turnbull.




Don Cardi On Behalf Of Turnbull

Frankie Yale?

No it's not.

Hint : He dropped dead after rolling snake eyes while playing craps at a Las Vegas casino. He died right at the table.


Don Cardi

is it Costello?

No it is not Costello.

I'll give the initials now : TC, who was a rumrunner using boats off the west coast. Then when Prohibition was over, he turned his boats into off shore Casinos.



Don Cardi

It's Tony (The Admiral) Cornero, the LA and Long Beach gaming ship operator who later built most of the Stardust in Vegas.

Can Don Cardi please confirm that Turnbulls answer is correct? This game is fun!

Turnbull's answer is correct. But I think that right now he is unable to post pictures. So to keep it going , I'll post another.





Don Cardi

Is it Albert Anastacia?

Am I right DC? Albert Anastacia?

No Luciano, it's not Albert.


Don Cardi

Hmm...

Can you give us A little hint please

Luciano, I posted the pic less than an hour ago, and you already want me to give a hint? Please! Let some others have a chance at seeing it. :rolleyes:


Don Cardi

Ok, can I have A hint after an hour?

Here's the pic again for those who did not get a chance to see it because of all the meaningless posts that followed my original posting of it.



Don Cardi

Wich one DC? The one on the left or the one on the right?

The one on the left. The one that you can see his face.

Wiseguy!


Don Cardi

If the posts where sueless, why didnt you just delete them? Your an admin right?

Watch out I don't delete you! :p (just kidding)


Ok Luciano, here's a hint : His brother was a big shot in the mob.


Don Cardi

Ok, here's another hint.


He may have been the man that you went to if you were looking to "Shape Up."


Don Cardi

Oho, it's Tough Tony Anastasio, brother of Albert Anastasia. Unmistakable hat--he always wore that hat, perched exactly on his head that way, although he usually wore a "loader" jacket, not an overcoat. Nice work, DC, getting that photo.

Turnbull is the man!

I'll post one for you my friend as I know that right now you do not have the capability to post a pic.





Don Cardi on behalf of the esteemed Turnbull

It's Benny Siegel, going to his final repose.
--Turnbull, in response to the exhalted Don Cardi.

Ok, someone else can take a turn.


Don Cardi

I will:

Giuseppe Morello (i didn't see the name on link, and not to mugshot.com)

make attention when you post


here's mine!



if you don't know who is, no problem... cause i don't know too

charlu

So if we answer correctly, how will you know if we have answered correctly?

Good point :rolleyes:

Ill post us one:
[img]http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:QJrq4OwTLM1ppM:www.state.nj.us/lps/ge/exclpics/gambino_r.jpg[/img]

That's Sylvester Agoglia, one of several hoods arrested by the Chicago police in 1929, from a famous lineup photograph that also included Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky.

That's Sylvester Agoglia, one of several hoods arrested by the Chicago police in 1929, from a famous lineup photograph that also included Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky. [/b][/quote]Wow, your good Turnbull
Back to mine

thanks turnbull, that's why i post these picture, to know who is..

Hint 1# He has A famous Italian/american last name.

Hint 2#: He had A brother named Guiseppe. The two where usually stated as "The Gambino Brothers"

L.Fanucci

Is it Rosario Gambino??

When I'm right I would like to give someone else the chance to post a new one because I can not post a picture now!!

Rosario Gambino is correct, ill post us one on Donnies behalf.

[img]http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:Y1q21Xgz54VJOM:www.bugsmoran.net/images/Dion_questioned.jpg[/img]

Small photo, but I'm guessing it's George (Bugs) Moran, third in succession of leaders of the Chicago Northside mob, mortal enemies of Capone.

Sorry TB, it aint Moran, but I can see the resemblance. Ill try and find A bigger pic.

The answer you provided was incorrect, Turnbull (for once :p ). That is infact a picture of Dion O'Banion, Boss of the North Siders.

Ben "Bugsy" Siegal [img]http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:...ino_mangano.gif[/img]

Are you 100% certain of that? Fanucci's little picture on the page before this is of O'Bannion. I think Turnbull is correct - here's the photo he was alluding to:



(from left to right): Paul Ricca, Sylvester Agoglia, "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky, John Senna, Harry Brown (dated April 19, 1932 in Chicago)

Are you 100% certain of that? Fanucci's little picture on the page before this is of O'Bannion. I think Turnbull is correct - here's the photo he was alluding to:



(from left to right): Paul Ricca, Sylvester Agoglia, "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky, John Senna, Harry Brown (dated April 19, 1932 in Chicago) [/b][/quote]Its O'Banion SC, im 100% sure.

Then why did you congratulate Turnbull upon his answering the photo with the name Agoglia?

Edit: Never mind..... I see the problem. I thought the issue was with a different picture.

Then why did you congratulate Turnbull upon his answering the photo with the name Agoglia? [/b][/quote]Sorry, I dont follow?

Never mind. I thought the correction was to the picture with the guy whose eyes were blocked out.

Your last pic is of Brooklyn's own, Vincent Mangano.

Who is this?:

Ok. back to mine
[img]http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:...ino_mangano.gif[/img]

Never mind. I thought the correction was to the picture with the guy whose eyes were blocked out.

Your last pic is of Brooklyn's own, Vincent Mangano.

Who is this?:

[/b][/quote]It's Gaetano Gagliano, Tommy Lucchese's predecessor.

Correct. Turnbull starts a new "correct" streak. :p

I'll post one for him.

Name this guy who is famous for something he did twenty years before this mug shot was taken.

Alright.... it looks like nobody wants to take a shot at this one. Its Frank Gallucio who made his "name" as the guy who slashed Al Capone causing the famous scar.

Here's a more modern one, albeit a young picture of someone we all know. Who is that in the handcuffs?

I think I need glasses but, is that a young John Gotti???

Give that lady a ceegar. A young John Gotti is correct.

Your turn to post one, Mig.

YEA

Mig, looks to be a young Al Capone.


Don Cardi

Looks more like Ralph ("Bottles") Capone, his ne'er-do-well brother.

Sorry DC, Turnbull, got it right. It's Ralph Capone.

Don't be sorry, "Turnbulls a good man."


Don Cardi

I belive its Turnbulls turn to post A pic?

Sorry, I can't post any. Someone else?

The resonant voice of Bob Sheppard fills the air, and the p.a. system announces, "Now pinch hitting for Turnbull, SC".

Q. Who this?

Ill take A guess, is it Albert Anastacia?

No, it's Stefano Maggaddino, Don of Buffalo, NY and southern Canada, and cousin (and supposed kidnapper) of Joe Bonanno.

Turnbull's got it.

Posting another one for him - name this guy:

A young Carlo Gambino?

C'mon now Fanucci, you can do better than that!


Don Cardi

C'mon now Fanucci, you can do better than that!


Don Cardi [/b][/quote]Lol, no I cant, Sc`s got me on this one.

I'm gonna venture a wild guess:
Charlie (the Bug) Workman, leader of the hit squad that whacked Dutch Schultz.

No fair, Turnbull, you keep guessing your own pix.

OK, another one for Turnbull -

Who's this?

Thanks, SC, but I think you should open this up to all of our paisani. (Also, to be honest, I don't know who it is, although I bet the photo was taken at the Kefauver hearings ca. 1950-51. Looks like Lee J. Cobb in "Waterfront" , or the famous Carmine DiSapio, Greenwich Village politico--I know it's not either. )

Really? This is a big easy one.

Is it Carlos Marcello?

Give the man a Ceeegar!


Don Cardi

I dunno how hard this one will be. It's the only picture of this guy I could find on the internet.

Is it Tommy DeSimmone?

Correct, your turn!

This Associate was sentenced to two years in prison for extorting New York, New Jersey and Florida waterfronts. He is also the son of a recently deceased Genovese mobster.

Looks like Vincent Esposito, The Chin's son.

The answer you provided was incorrect, Turnbull, but the picture of the mobster I have posted above is a son of Vincent Gigante.

Louis Gigante?

Andrew Gigante

Thomas Eboli.



This Boss, along with Albert Anastasia, was reputed to be one of the most feared men in New York during the 1930s and even during the 1940s (He was sentenced to 14 years in Sing Sing prison in 1939.)

...and died in the electric chair in 1944. It's Louis (Lepke) Bucholter. BTW: his 14 year sentence was to be served in the Federal pen at Leavenworth, KS. He was executied in Sing Sing prison after the Feds turned him over to NY State special prosecutor Thomas Dewey, who convicted him on a murder rap.

Ill post one for Turnbull

Hint 1#: His body was found the same day of Dutch Schultz murder.

It's Louis (Pretty) Amberg who, along with his brothers Hyman and Joe, were pretty big racketeers in Brooklyn until they ran afoul of Murder, Inc., and The Law.

Pretty Lou Amberg it is Turnbull, Ill post one for you.

Joe Adonis.



This mobster succeeded Sam DeCavalcante as Boss of the Decavalcante Family in New Jersey.

It's John Riggi, the Toxic Waste King.

...On Turnbulls behalf.

Thank you. That's Paul Castellano, at the time of his first arrest, for a botched armed robbery.

Right you are, Turnbull. Here`s an other one on Turnbulls behalf.

Tony Accardo.

Frank Capone
Brother of Al Capone
-----------

A young Meyer Lansky?

Arnold Rothstein
-----------------

Junior Gotti.

that's right...
now I guess it's your turn to post a pic.??

He cant DZ, I will:

Frankie Yale.



This Boss became Capo Di Tutti Capi of New York after the death of his most powerful rival, Giuseppe Masseria.

Salvatore Maranzano. (Interesting that he and Masseria were known as "Moustache Petes," even though both were clean-shaven.)

Whos posting now?
Ive posted quite alot, so ill let some one else psot.

L.Fanucci

Ok,ill post

Paul (the Waiter)Ricca, successor to Frank (the Enforcer) Nitti as leader of the Chicago "Outfit."

Is there any gangster you dont know of, Turnbull?

I missed a couple in the last two or three weeks alone.

You prbably still knew them though.

Here`s one for you guys:

Hint 1# He was sometimes called The Beer Barron Of New York.

This post was left unanswered A while ago, im quite sure its Joseph Massino, head of the Bonanno family.

The answer you provided is correct, Luciano Fannuci. The picture I posted is that of Joseph Massino, former Boss of the Bonanno Family, who "flipped" not so long ago.

I am not playing the game really I just want to be sure I posted the pic well. If I fail I am sorry

Albert Anastasia.

Paul Castellano?

Hint 2# His name at birth was Arthur Flengheimer

Hint 3# Its was Charlie "The Bug" Workamn who handled his assasination.

Dutch Schultz.

That's "The Mad Hatter," with his hat.

Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn.

He was underboss to Joe Aiuppa in The Chicago outfit and served as boss of the late 60's and early 70's.

Jackie Cerone.

The currant Gambino Consigliare, Joseph "JoJo" Corozzo

Sam Giancana.

Whos this?

Johnny the Fox (Torrio) late in life.

Wow Turnbull, give teh rest of us A chance!

Ok, Turnbull, you can give it A shot.

Frank (The Enforcer) Nitti

Correct, someone else can post one.

Peter Gotti.

Frank Costello

Carlos Marcello.

Who`s that guy?

Joseph Colombo

Pietro Bonanno.

Don Pappo, you post an other pic, if you like, Turnbulls guessed all of mine!

Because Turnbull might be God or 1 million years old!!!

...two million (feels like it).

Here`s one:

Who`s this, umm...friendly looking gentleman?

Mad Sam DeStefano, Chicago lunatic and mentor of Anthony (the Ant) Spilotro.

Ok turnbull, try this one:

It's Gus Alex, the Chicago Outfit's number-one political fixer.

Not known for American organised crime.

Still not difficult...but how else are we going to stop Turnbull getting them all???

I am sure he will know this as well to be honest.

Looks like Ron Kray.
What do you mean by "...as well to be honest"?

corect on the pic.

i meant that i figured you would still know who it is despite it not being an american mobster.

poor english on my part. i apologise.

Whos this guy?

How about somebody else answering?

Yeah, I think its time someone did!

The last one is Vito Genovese

Vincent Mangano

HINT: portrayed by Chazz Palminteri in the Boss of Bosses

I liked to be called Fergie, but was usually known by another name.
My brother was called Yiddy.
We lived long lives and retired rich to Miami Beach
where we we out to lunch every day with the Lansky brothers.

The guy on the left(below) was a rival in Minneapolis before he and his brother Chickie moved to Vegas. Tom Klingman in the Godfather was modeled after him.

Some old schnorers enjoying the Vegas sun.

Homer Van Meter of the Dilligner mob?

Dang Turnbull, You're the man!
Yes, I reposted them. They were accidently deleted.
let's see; Dave Berman was a Minneapolis gangster before Vegas. The second Bulger ID; were you talking about the guys in the car? They're new Yorkers(hint)
Make a guess on the other guys with Greenbaum.(one was from Minneapolis and had a "colorful" nickname.
The Belcastro guess is close, but the guy in the photo was not Italian. There's a hint in one of the following posts.

Do you think Dalitz is at far left in the Purple gang photo?

1961 on trial in Miami


1920 Minneapolis

I posted this guy's pic earlier.
I should re scan them.

I knew Fred Barker, John Dillinger, J Edgar Hoover, Klondike O'Donnell, Frank Nitti, and taught Charles Manson how to play the guitar.

I'll stop at three.

I recognize Isadore "Kid Cann" Blumenfeld and the one and only Alvin Karpis, dean of the Alcatraz School of Hard Knocks. Don't know the Boston guy.
The photo you posted earlier of James (King of the Bombers) Belcastro appeared in John Kobler's outstanding biography, "Capone," and is identified as such.

turnbull,
I have him as Klondike O'Donnell.
You're correct about Karpis and Kid Cann.

Here we have the leaders of the Northside Gang: Dion O'Banion, Chicago's favorite florist (with characteristic flower in his lapel), and his successor, Hymie (the Polack) Weiss. How come you didn't include George (Bugs) Moran?
Your source for the Belcastro photo is wrong in identifying him as Klondike O'Donnell. Go to this source and you will see Klondike as the first photo alongside "Gang Leaders":

There's also a picture taken in Alaska.

The lineup
Joseph Rosen Ben Siegel Harry Teitelbaum Harry Greenberg and "Louis Buckhouse"

Hope the download image works. Anyway, it's been said that this is a photo of Salvatore Maranzano, but it's not. Hint: He had several brothers involved in prostitution in London before the Krays.

Sorry, the link didn't work, so I am trying the download method. Anyway, here is the famous photo of someone said to be Maranzano but who was actually an English gangster. Let's see if anyone can identify who he really was.

Maranzanono

Genie Gotti.

Maybe the Maranzano picture is actually the guy who sent Maranzano to the US?

Your turn

Are you saying he's Owney Madden?

Here's a tough one.
Two members of the "Minneapolis Combination" in Oklahoma
at the time of their trial for involvement in the Urschel kidnapping.(they were laundering the ransom money) Their partner/boss/ co defendent was aquitted.(he flew the chief of police of Mpls to OK. as a character witness.)

I waited for a while to see if anyone responded, then I sort of lost track. Anyway, the answer is that the man many are led to believe is Salvatore Maranzano was really Salvatore Messina. He was a member of London's Messina Brothers gang. His photo was published in the Sunday People newspaper in 1950. John H. Davis, author of "Mafia Dynasty," included this photo in his book as Maranzano. Whether it was an intentional deception or a mistake I don't know. All attempts to contact him were unsuccessful.

Here he is in death.

That photo you speak of showed up in books written long before Davis'.

Concrete Galoshes

Abraham (Bo) Weinberg.
Someone else pls. post.

Re the Maranzano photo

I did some double-checking and I did find that Jay Robert Nash had the photo in his Encyclopedia of Organized Crime, published in 1992. The Davis book was published in 1993 and as far as I know was the second to publish it. If you know of earlier sources I would appreciate the names as I have almost every Mafia book there is that has been published in English (and I have several Italian and German titles too). Regarding Nash, he was known to put out false information in order to catch plagiarists.

Frank Nitti

I'm gonna guess that it's Giuseppi Doto (aka Joe Adonis) about to be deported. If so, pls. post another.

That's why YOU are the man TB!


Someone else, please feel free to post a picture.
