Pair of 1910s Watts Detective Agency "Protected" Signs from Boston, Massachusetts

This is a pair of 1910s Watts Detective Agency, inc. "Protected" signs. Watts was headquartered at 40 Court Street in Boston, Massachusetts and offered a $50 reward for information leading to the "arrest and conviction of any person committing any form of theft or willful destruction of property on the premises" where these signs would have been posted.

Circa 1910s.

Approximately 10" in height and 14" in width (each).

Painted tin.

Holes at corners.

None.

This is from a detective agency collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VGEX11 LBDEX5/11 SBJJX4/14

7+ (Very Fine+): The sign shown on its own is a 7+; the other sign is 4, and has some corrosion.

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