Missing items and rewards in a wave of late 1920s notices
A dense string of lost and found ads listing numerous items across Washington DC areas including Georgetown, Cleveland Park, and Rock Creek Park. Items range from jewelry, purses, bags, and a pocketbook to a brindle bull terrier, a terrier, keys, a silver lorgnette, a pocket watch, a cameo piece, and a white kitten, with varying rewards offered. Names and addresses appear with scattered street references and landmarks such as Union Station, Franklin Park, The Highlands, and The Spr eats.
