Notes	On back: "TOOL PROOF STEEL TO GUARD HARDENED CRIMINALS - As close to escape proof as science can make them, these steel cells will guard America's most desperate and hardened criminals when they enter Alcatraz Island, the Department of Justice' newest penal institution in San Francisco Bay. Al Capone, like many another ex 'public enemy' will occupy one of these cells. No file made can mar the surface of these bars. (38 8-20-34)".
