Anyone who has ever wanted a piece of Frank Rizzo is in luck. The home of the loved and loathed former Philadelphia mayor and police chief is for sale, and so is just about everything inside. Rizzo’s estate sale starts Black Friday, Nov. 23, and will feature hundreds of items both large and small, including his billy club and Rolodex, Italian-made furniture, and a signed picture of Richard Nixon, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Thursday.
Rizzo’s wife, Carmella, died in July at age 101. John Romani, who is handling the estate sale, said Rizzo’s son reached out after her death to say the family wanted to sell the house and clear it out. Aside from a few trinkets and paperwork from the papal visit in 1976, everything else must go, including business cards, cologne, alarm clocks with Rizzo’s name plated in gold, trinkets from dignitaries, and even his rakes, tools and garden hoses
