The three photos above are for sale on eBay. They are being sold as “WEEGEE ORIGINAL STAMPED PHOTO RARE.”
In our opinion it’s obvious that the photos were neither made, nor stamped by Arthur Fellig. These are, at best, good examples of a bad joke, bad imitations, and/or just plain fraud…
PS. 
This is what a real Weegee the Famous stamp looks like…

“Homicides increased 4 %…”
New York Daily News, August 14, 1941
Exactly how much crime was there in 1941 (Weegee’s most productive, and perhaps “best,” year).
There were 183 homicides in the first half of 1941, in New York State. (And 614,235 arrests.) That would be about one a day. Then the very recent “Murder on the Roof” and the recent “Bandit” and the imminent “Their First Murder” were perhaps, more-or-less, the only murders that occurred on that day…
How many homicides are there today? According to the NY Times:
“There were 414 recorded homicides so far in 2012, compared with 515 for the same period in 2011, city officials said. That is a striking decline from murder totals in the low-2,000s that were common in the early 1990s, and is also below the record low: 471, set in 2009.”

PM Daily, August 11, 1941
Bandit Roy Bennett, 27, was slain by detectives when he tried to escape after attempting to hold up the New York Delicatessen, 1288 Sixth Ave. He had arrived from Texas by bus a few hours earlier, apparently planning to try his hand as a big-city desperado.

Surrounded by salmon: the young man who was working behind the counter at the New York Deli at 12:30 A.M. when Bennett attempted his sole New York stick-up… Apparently Bennett was “spotted as suspicious” (no stop and frisk) as he arrived at a New York bus station and followed by a pair of detectives…
