ARTIFACT: These are two letters of commendation for meritorious service issued to Patrolman John J. Donovan Division 15, accompanied by two cover letters. All four pieces are signed by the then-Commissioner of the city of Boston Police Department, Leo J. Sullivan. The letters of Commendation relate to an arson that took place in Boston and a car theft/series of robberies that took place in Medford, Cambridge and Everett. The original envelope is included in the lot and all the signatures are real, not mechanically reproduced.

VINTAGE: Circa 1958.

SIZE: Letter: 8-1/2" in width by 11" in height each; commendation: 8-1/2" in width by 15" in height each; envelope: 9-1/2" in width by 4-1/4" in height each.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Printed paper.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: These letters are from a large assortment of police badges and memorabilia that I will be listing over the next few months.

CONDITION: 9 (Excellent-Near Mint): The letters and commendations show little signs of wear or aging though the envelope is well worn around the edges and would be considered around a 5. LEEX SEEX5/11

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
