Crime Notice

Original Crime Notice, dated 1924, from the Post Office Department, San Francisco, California.  The notice states: "Blank money order forms...have been stolen and it is reasonable to believe they will be forged and attempts made to pass them at stores, hotels, saloons, restaurants, etc."

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.

This notice is in overall very good condition, aside from slight, expected age wear.
