Hi, I have here what my father believes to be the last pictures taken of Amelia Earhart. Any info is appreciated, authenticity and maybe value? heres what he wrote about them.
"The photos are original not copies.they are dated june 2 1937 but should have been june 1 1937.I found them in my grandmothers photos from the 1930s and 1940s. They are about 2 inches by 4 inches.They have some blue writing on the back of the photos that indicate they were taken by a professional photographer that was allowed to get close to them and take photos.These could possible be that last known photos that were ever taken of them before there historic flight were they disappeared and never found.I have searched hundreds of her photos of her online and have never seen these.They should be of historical importance because of her being the first woman to try fly across the globe."
shotout to iggy , whats up man!
Sure looks like her & she did go thru MIA. Very interesting ! Looks like her plane too.
Oh wow! That is so very awesome. I bet it is her. There is a very good lady named Dr Laura that knows a great deal on this subject and she gives authentications. Personally, I would not let this out of my hands at all, nor my sight. This could be your pot at the end of the rainbow, no doubt! I suggest you find a local appraiser and take it to them. Then, take it to another if you are not happy with whatever they say. Here's another lil tip, I would not call in advance and send a copy before you go in. Some appraisers have super fast hands, there's a number of dishonest jewelers out there too...sad to say but it's true. Good luck, I think it's a winner... let us know the outcome!
After reading Share's comments, I checked your profile info to see if you gave your address. LOL !!
Great photo grouping of historical significance.
Historical significance doesn't always translate to a huge monetary value. So while it does have value, this isn't something your going to retire on.

Hi everyone, how can i contact Dr Laura ? thanks for all the advice, yeah thats a good point too with the tip, ill keep it in mind. hopefully i can find Dr Laura to look at it. thanks.
Zac, Hey buddy hope those pictures are the real deal. That would be very cool. I still have to get to your place to check out all the bottles you found.
Hey Iggy, oh yeah i think its real, oh yeah definitely got alot of them ! lol i was thinking about the other day about that think you said you found in your backyard, like a big plate. btw my dad found dr. Lori , he shot her an email and will let you guys know what she says about the pictures!
"And the Beat Goes ON". LOL !
after doing some research, and comparing to other pictures, they're without a doubt her. so now were just waiting on Dr Laura to email my dad back for appraisal l i think today has been 11 days since she started her service.
