Wanted Notice

Original Wanted Notice, dated April 12, 1911.  The six page notice reads, in German: "Internationales Criminal-Polizeiblatt," listing six wanted fugitives on the first two pages, with descriptions of their cases on the following pages in both German and English.

From the collection of Police Chief Michael Webb (1950-2009). Webb joined the Vinita Park, Missouri police force in 1974 and served until his death in 2009, during which time he purchased crime artifacts from relatives of criminals and law officers. Boasting more than 8,000 wanted posters, pieces of Webb’s collection have been featured in film and displayed at the National Crime and Punishment Museum in Washington.

Measuring approximately 9 x 11 inches, this notice is in overall good condition, aside from slight, expected age wear.
