Chicago Massage Parlors: Dillinger, Capone items to be auctioned

Harold Rubin, the eccentric collector once dubbed the “king of Chicago pornography,” or John Dillinger, the notorious 1930s gangster?
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers are hoping a little of both.
This month, part of Rubin’s collection will go on the block at the Chicago auction house. Among the most gripping items are a bulletproof vest that reportedly was worn or stolen by Dillinger and a plaster mold of his death mask. Prohibition documents, room keys, poker chips, all said to have belonged to Al Capone, as well as gruesome photographs of dead criminals and their families, also will be for sale.
Fans of Rubin, who died in 2007, knew him as Weird Harold, a nickname he took with him when he opened Weird Harold’s, an adult bookstore, massage parlor and nude modeling studio at 541 S. Wabash Ave.
