Lindbergh 1932 Kidnapping Reward Poster -- Lists Serial Numbers of Currency Paid in Ransom

Poster offering a $25,000 reward for the ''apprehension and conviction of the kidnapers of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.'' The 18-month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was taken from their New Jersey home on 1 March 1932. A massive search, led by the New Jersey police, ensued. The poster lists the last four digits of the bills paid to the kidnappers in ransom and urges the public to contact the police if the bills are ''detected''. Some chipping and one hole at fold intersection to the 17'' x 27'' poster. Very good.
