Description

John Dillinger Wanted Poster

Original 8 x 8 wanted poster for Dillinger issued in 1934 by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a violation of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act. Poster shows Dillinger’s fingerprints, his mugshots, physical description, his alias “Frank Sullivan,” and lists his criminal history, including arrests for assault, bank robbery, and murder. Bottom states Dillinger is wanted for “feloniously and knowingly transporting Ford V-8 four door sedan…from Crown Point, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois.” Central horizontal fold, dampstaining along lower right, and moderate toning and soiling, otherwise very good condition. Highly desirable as it is getting more difficult to find authentic specimens.
