Original Items. Only One Lot Available. The Thompson submachine was invented by John T. Thompson in 1919 and became infamous during the Prohibition era.

The Thompson was also known informally as: the "Tommy Gun," the "Trench Broom," the "Trench Sweeper," the "Chicago Piano," the "Chicago Typewriter," and the "Chopper."
