Detailed 19th century wanted "posters". Unfortunately, authentic ones are not easy to find as postal history items.

Nice, I've seen some with photos of the culprit as well.

Tried acquiring some on ebay whenever they pop up, but always get out bidded, one day I'll snag one or two.

Two Hundred Dollars was a lot of money back then. Especially when you consider that a house cost $2,000! I wonder if they caught Thomas Franklin Coffin.
