    Description

    1918 Original ESCAPED CHILD RAPIST WANTED POSTER
    Iowa State Penitentiary
    Reward for Arthmus Allen
    From a Connecticut Estate Auction comes this
    1918 Original ESCAPED CHILD RAPIST WANTED POSTER for Arthmus Allen who escaped from the Iowa State Penitentiary and had a Reward for his arrest.
    He was sentenced to six years for the “crime of Rape and Lewd and Lacivious Acts With a Child.” Measuring approximately 5 1/2” x 5” this is in excellent condition with no defects that I note.
    I have recently purchased an extraordinary book of over 100 wanted posters spanning the years from 1917/1919. So far, I don't have a clue as to where the book came from but perhaps it was part of an early agency which might have been on the lookout for wanted men and their rewards.
    Please watch my listings both for those and what I hope is an interesting and eclectic selection of other vintage and antique items. I am happy to combine items to reduce shipping with the second and successive items usually half of the original shipping cost.
    INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I send virtually all international packages fully insured and the insured amount has to be the same as the declared value, so please do not ask me to indicate either a lower value or that your item is a gift.
    Import duties, taxes, and charges are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in the item price or shipping cost. If this is a concern for you, please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
    If an international item sells for .00 or more, it has to be shipped via International Express Mail which provides real tracking capability. If you pay the invoice you receive from ebay which may not include this form of shipping, I will refund your payment and re-invoice you.
