I purchased a collection of original police file mug shots that were stored in a dry attic by the San Francisco Police officer. Most are from San Francisco but some originated in other cities like Berkeley, Oakland, Portland, Los Angeles, and more. Some were even sent from other states. I sell these on a website but am now offering them on ETSY.

ABOUT THE Mug shots: Cards measure approx. 6" x 6". All are in very good condition (see photos). THE SUBJECTS WERE PHOTOGRAPHED AND INFORMATION WAS HANDWRITTEN OR TYPED ON EACH CARD. THESE orders ARE FROM BEFORE THE TIME THAT FINGERPRINTING BECAME STANDARD. THE SYSTEM USED (THE BERTILLON SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY FRENCHMAN Alphonse Bertillon) INVOLVED MAKING SPECIFIC BODY MEASUREMENTS. A NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS WERE RECORDED FOR THE HEAD, LEGS, AND ARMS. THESE WERE FELT TO BE UNIQUE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL AND THE DATA WAS RECORDED ON THESE POLICE FILE CARDS TO CONFIRM A SUSPECT'S IDENTITY.

DESCRIPTIONS OFTEN INCLUDE TATTOOS. THE CRIMINALS ARE CHARGED WITH CRIMES SUCH AS: MURDER, PIMPING, BURGLARY, EXPOSURE, LEWD CONDUCT, PRISON ESCAPE, LARCENY, SHOPLIFTING, COUNTERFEITING, SAFE BLOWING, CRIMES OF NATURE, SODOMY, RAPE, AND FORGERY
