Description:

CHARLES MANSON
(b.1934) Drifter whose "family" committed the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. So far has eluded the gas chamber. A very rare prison-made Manson "souvenir", a 10" long scorpion woven by Manson from orange twine which he has painted which he has painted green and blue. Very good. Nearly identical to the 14" example offered by us last year, made by Manson and sold with a signed envelope (torn), Tamal, Ca., Dec. 17, 1986. This example lacks the envelope but originates from the same consignor. Early and extremely rare, as Manson is no longer permitted access to similar craft materials and may not send them beyond prison walls.
