“Beautiful original vintage silver gelatin photograph by the famous Weegee,measures 3×5 in.Here’s your chance to own a piece of photographic history.With Weegee stamp on verso.In good condition especially for it”s age and rarity.”

The photos with movie marquees were probably made in 1939, when “Allegheny Uprising” and “On Dress Parade” were released…

We think these photos were not made by “the famous Weegee.”

It’s interesting that every image of the backs of these prints is the same…
