JACK THE RIPPER a collection of original artifacts relating to Inspector Joseph Henry
Helson & the Jack the Ripper murders. (1) a sepia mortuary photograph of the 1st. victim, Mary Nichols. This seems to differ from the known photograph as the angle of the image is very slightly different. (2) 2 photos of Michael Ostrog with notes to the reverse listing 3 of his aliases, criminal record & physical appearance. (3) facsimile copy of the 'Dear Boss' & 'Saucy Jack' letters, cut & pasted onto 2 sheets of paper. These appear to have been cut from the broadside printed in 1888. (3) a pair of handcuffs owned by Helson. (4) portrait photos of Helson & 2 of his colleagues. (5) Helson's Metropolitan Police retirement certificate. (6) a reference letter to Helson dated shortly before he joined the Met. (7) a walking stick with silver collar inscribed to Helson. (8) an 1895 newspaper cutting about Helson.
