Yeah thats right. On the first photo is Frankie Fratto 100% but now since you and bronx mentioned Lou Costello im having doubts about the second photo...maybe it is Lou?!

I cant find any photo of Costello with white hair...or anything that confirms the two of them on that photo.Maybe you guys are right about Lou...

Heres the site that says Its Fratto and Rocky

On the previous page there is a photo of Frank Costello ringside at the Garden. Is that Bufalino on the left hand side?

Could be. It looks like him a lot. To Costello´s immediate right is Frank Erikson (most likely).

Here is a confirmed pic of Rocky Marciano and Frankie Farrell taken shortly before the plane crash in 1969. That crash took both of their lives as well as the inexperienced 37 year old pilot.

Frankie Farrell, 28, was the oldest son of Lew Farrell, a former boxer who had known Marciano since childhood.

By the way, "Lew Farrell" was an alias for Outfit guy, Louis Fratto.

AJK, that's a great find. Looks like someone's personal collection? Also, I've always wondered whose funeral the pic of Joe B and Joey O were at. You sure it was Milwaukee Phil's?

The middle guy looks a lot like old gambling boss Ralph Pierce, former bodyguard of Murray Humphreys and Capone gunman during Prohibition.

I'm pretty sure. I found that picture years ago on, I believe it was the Chicago Sun-Times' site and that was the caption they had for it.

The other picture is indeed from a person's personal collection. The person that took it, painted a copy of it and it was up for auction a few years back. I tried searching for the news story about it but came up empty. I believe the person that took it and painted the copy is a Nitti relative.

Here's a pic of the painting:
