My wife found this sweet belt buckle at a thrift store in San Diego. The engraving indicates it was made for Frank E. Fitzimmons in 1973, the year he became the head of the Teamster's Union after Hoffa turned himself in on a federal conviction. Hoffa was pardoned by Nixon and tried to get back into the Union despite being forbidden by the terms of his pardon. He disappeared in 1975 and though never charged, Fitzimmons was a suspect. Could the buckle have been used to kill Hoffa? Why did his wife give this obviously sentimental artifact to the AmVets thrift store? Could it be the key to solving one of the most notorious missing persons cases of all time? Bids start at $50,000.
