    I have seen similar things done by a modern artist. I am highly dubious of its authenticity.

    The photographs used of the victims are quite generic and I don't think the MJK crime scene picture was publicly available until well into the 1900s. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Also the case itself seems like it might be 1930s/40s based on the hinge and locks used.

          I responded on the Faceboook group... the "hair" is apparently supposed to be from Mary Nichols and "snipped" by a policeman at the time of her death...

          ...riiiiight. Because a police officer would snip hair from a random dead woman found in the street for no reason whatsover.

          The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me.

          Let all Oz be agreed;

            The owner of this item said it was picked up in a Paris flea market.
            The victim photographs appear to have been cut out of books with poorer quality reproductions than you'd find in something like 'Scotland Yard Investigates'.
