1950 Boston Brinks Robbery...



Item # 672347

January 18, 1950

THE NEW YORK TIMES, January 18, 1950 

* Great Brinks Robbery (Boston, MA) 
* 1st report of the "Crime of the Century"
* Over 2 Million $$$$ stolen

The front page has a two column heading: "$1,000,000 in Cash Seized By 7 Masked Men in Boston" (see images). Nice to have in this famous NYC title. Note: While the headline states $1 million in cash was stolen, the actual take including everything was over 2 million dollars, making it the largest robbery to-date within the United States and earning the title, "The Crime of the Century!"
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 54 pages, rag edition in very nice condition.
