Item Description:		

  Snyder's Treasures is pleased to offer

An Original & Authentic World War II FBI Espionage Teletype Photograph.This is the real deal!This
  is a wartime Federal Bureau of Investigation Department of Justice produced
  photograph of a TTY message being received by the FBI espionage investigation
  unit from the FBI Washington headquarters.  The message is readable and
  is shown to be a very simple acknowledgment of some espionage agents being
  sentenced to life imprisonment  -- no doubt staged for the
  photograph.  Subtlety is not the FBI's long suit.The text of the
  message is:"FBI JLB DIRECTOR ROCKET GUN PLANT ESPIONAGE SABOTAGE
  CASE.  PLEAS OF GUILTY ENTERED TODAY BY BOTH DEFENDANTS  AND BOTH
  WERE SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT. JONES END FBI CK FBI WASH DC MN"Justice
  was swifter in the Old Days....

 The photograph is in excellent condition, with razor-sharp definition. 
  The photograph measures 5 by 4 inches. This is a rare wartime proof
  photograph, probably released to the press for publicity purposes.  This
  is one of a series of similar FBI espionage forensics analyst photographs,
  some others of which included cipher and cryptoanalysts, chemists, and similar
  research and investigation types.If you are a WWII espionage collector,
  this would be an outstanding addition to your collection.  These FBI
  produced photographs are very rarely seen, and even more rarely seen as
  original proofs, prior to press release.
 Shipping and handling is $2.00 for US destinations.

  Winning bidder pays stated shipping and handling charges. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED THERE IS A MINIMUM 
  CHARGE OF $2 FOR INSURED MAIL.
