Description

Original 8 x 8 wanted poster for John Dillinger, issued on March 12, 1934, by the Department of Justice for a violation of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act. Poster features Dillinger's fingerprints and mugshots, and lists a physical description, his alias "Frank Sullivan," and his criminal history, including arrests for assault, bank robbery, and murder. The bottom states that Dillinger is wanted for "feloniously and knowingly transporting Ford V-8 four door sedan…from Crown Point, Indiana to Chicago, Illinois." In fine condition, with two puncture holes above and on the fingerprint block. Often replicated, authentic period posters are becoming more difficult to find and increasingly desirable.
