Two
brothers from California found a photo album at an antique shop
containing more than two dozen photographs of the legendary lawman Wyatt
Earp. Brothers Keith and Brian Collins discovered Earp’s personal photo
album while picking through a Hesperia, California, antique shop. The
photographs reportedly show Earp as a child, a teenager and as a young
adult. The album, which the brothers paid $50 in May, also contains
photographs of his mother and two of Earp’s three wives. Wyatt Earp is
best known for being the deputy marshal of Tombstone, Arizona, when the
famous shootout at the O.K. Corral occurred. The Collinses have invited
experts to inspect the pictures and verify their authenticity. The
brothers say the album could bring in as much at $1 million if sold, but
they would like to keep them and lease out the rights to their use.
