I mentioned this in another thread and didn't get much feedback. My grandpa told me when I was about 7 about this photo of the Titanic taken from my great grandmother. Supposedly it was taken accidently from a lifeboat (her was one of the first out) and was totally black save the running lights of the ship at about a 30-degree angle. The photo was framed and sat outside Peoria Illinois until 1973, a year before I was born, when the farmhouse burnt down. The photo went up with it. My father remembers seeing it and once tried to have it authenticated but the focus was too bad for a positive authentication and therefore was never public. I have seen a photo taken at my dad's 13th birthday party and saw the framed photo on the wall and thats when I asked what it was.
Obviously a amateur photo of a photo that was badly taken in the first place could not be ever authenticated, this I know. But assuming that I still had the original, what would something like this be worth? Just curious.
