So, here’s the challenge.…The eight hoodlums listed below each had the nickname “Nose” or a variation thereof. Seven were connected to various NYC Families. One was with the Chicago Outfit.

Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and matching the (letter) of his nickname with the corresponding (number) of the state he was affiliated with. For instance, you could say C-2, and his real name was Frank Russo.

Have at it fellas. Let’s see how many guys you can knock down.

A) Larry Nose
B) Mikey Nose
C) Big Nose Sam
D) Tony the Nose
E) Big Nose Mike
F) Chris the Nose

H) Tony Nose

1) Gambino
2) Lucchese
3) Lucchese
4) Chicago
5) Bonanno
6) Lucchese
7) Genovese
8) Lucchese
