Description: American Bank Robber Willie "The Actor" Sutton 1950 NYPD Wanted Poster Original 1950 wanted poster for Willie Sutton. William Francis "Willie" Sutton, Jr. (June 30, 1901 - November 2, 1980) was an American bank robber. During his forty-year robbery career he stole an estimated $2 million, and he eventually spent more than half of his adult life in prison and escaped three times. For his talent at executing robberies in disguises, he gained two nicknames, "Willie the Actor" and "Slick Willie". Sutton is also known as the namesake of the so-called Sutton's law, although he denied originating it. This poster comes from the publication "Spring 3100", a magazine published by the New York Police Department for current and retired members of the service. Each publication featured a wanted poster on the back cover. Unlike traditional wanted posters that were circulated and displayed in public, these posters were for internal use. Also included on this poster is John Guisto, who was wanted for the infamous mafia murder of William Lurye, an organizer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). The poster measures 9x11.5 and is in good condition for it's age.Please message me with any questions.
