Description
A rare and authentic Christmas card personally sent by Tony Lambrianou, one of the Kray twins’ most notorious associates. Known for his role in the London underworld of the 1960s, Lambrianou was deeply involved with the Kray firm and later chronicled his experiences in his memoir Inside the Firm. He has signed it from Tony and Wendy (Mason) – his second wife. Tony served 15 years in jail for his part in the murder ojf Jack ‘The Hat’ McVitie in 1967. He died suddenly in Swanscombe, Kent on the 26th February 2004 aged 61.
Provenance:
This card is guaranteed authentic and includes our COA confirming its origin. Items of personal correspondence from Kray firm members are scarce, and Christmas cards are particularly unusual finds.
Significance:
Owning this card means holding a piece of gangland history—linking directly back to a man who stood at the heart of the Kray story. With Tony Lambrianou’s role immortalised in both court records and his own writings, this artefact stands as a unique and poignant reminder of loyalty, violence, and notoriety in 1960s London.
