One thing I read that you mentioned is that you were not sure if Annabelle ever married or if she had been widowed. in this book it says she was widowed.

I find the photograph tempting for two reasons--St.Elmo and the depiction of a cattle drive! Although I'm certain any museum would love to have this piece, you are clearly looking to sell. I would not be able to give you a value estimate. This involves a type of expertise I do not have. I can imagine there would be an interested buyer somewhere, though. There is an auctioneer who specializes in Old West memorabilia. Brian Lebel's Old West Show and Auction was in charge of the recent sale of the only surviving tintype image of Billy the Kid, which had an estimated value of $400,000, but sold for $2.3 million. I am not in any way suggesting your photo has a similar value, but I am suggesting that this is the website where you should start your research in locating someone to help determine the value and help you sell this piece. Good luck to you--and congratulations! That's quite a find! http://codyoldwest.com/owaboutus.htmlDarla Sue Dollmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295727215740074345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964675941678680587.post-50177844166824707422012-01-14T22:08:55.116-08:002012-01-14T22:08:55.116-08:00I have ( I believe) an original photo of a cattle ...I have ( I believe) an original photo of a cattle drive in St Elmo. It is signed in silver ink by Ron Lamb. There is a brief story about St Elmo attached to the back. It is a black and white ( sepia ) and I believe it is very old because of the crack lines...otherwise this is well perserved. The typed information on the back has a lot of discoloration and is soiled. I was wondering if you could help me with some more information on this.<br />The building most identifiable is the post office ( painted sign above the door) which also has some store name on the other side of the door)..I couldn't make out anything on it except the word " store" ..The photo is matted and the size is about 7 1/4" x 4 3/4". Matted it is 8" X10". Written in pencil on the inside of the mat is " cattle drive".<br />Would you have any idea what this might be worth or who would know? Thank you for your time.
