“Goodfellas” Authentic worn BKE Jacket owned by Mobster Henry Hill with Certificate of Authenticity
Another amazing piece of Mafia history secured by MJB, this BKE jacket was worn and owned by the real “Goodfella” Henry Hill.
Unfortunately Henry passed away in 2012 and I was fortunate enough to buy a large amount of his personal items from his Fiancé at the time Lisa Caserta.
Henry Hill Jr. (June 11, 1943 – June 12, 2012) was an American mobster who was associated with the Lucchese crime family of New York City between 1955 and 1980. In 1980, Hill was arrested on narcotics charges and became an FBI informant. He testified against his former Mafia associates, resulting in 50 convictions, including those of caporegime (captain) Paul Vario and James Burke on multiple charges. He had entered the Witness Protection Program in 1980, but was removed from the program in the early 1990s.
Hill's life story was documented in the true crime book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family by Nicholas Pileggi,[1] which was subsequently adapted by Martin Scorsese into the critically acclaimed film Goodfellas in 1990. Hill was portrayed by Ray Liotta in the film.
