Los Angeles:

Louis Dragna (27)
Calogero "Carlo" Licata (28)
Frank Bompensiero
Tommaso Gambino (~22?)
Anthony Gambino (he's apparently younger than his brother and if they were made around 1995, he could very well have been like 18 or something)
- old timers and some others I can't recall too as well (Roselli maybe?)

I think Colorado member Robert Dionisio (the cousin, 1894-1967) was probably also made in his 20s. He was IDed by Valachi as a Bonanno member despite moving to Trinidad either sometime in 1917 or before it.

Detroit: There are a bunch....but I want to mention Jack Tocco strangling Gust Andromolous to death in 1947 while his dad watched while he was attending college at 20 or 21.

Joe Stanfa
Rosario Bellocchi(in all honesty on Bellocchi I'm still unclear on his making ceremony. I'm still not 100% sure he was initiated).

Probably just barely. Capone was most likely made in 1928, when he was 29.
