ive 2 photos of the enola gay taking off with the bomb by a hidden camera, how much are they worth?
My grandfather had a hidden camera which he used to take two pictures of the enola gay taking off for Hiroshima. They are the originals, 8×10 (approx size), and are in perfect condition. What is the approximate monitary value of these photos? Any help is greatly appreciated.
The Enola Gay is at the Smithsonian Institute. It is the most photographed airplane ever. Do some YAHOO! searches to discover the value of your "hidden camera" photos. Be prepared to document proof that your grandfather served at the base where the photos were taken (DD214 duty assignments, pay slips, etc.). Sworn testimonials, documentations and so forth. You cannot determine the value of anything without doing research, then the value is determined by what someone is willing to pay and what someone is willing to accept. Another source of internet research is AUCTION HOUSES. Otherwise, anyone who blindly gives you an "educated guess" as a quick answer for 2 points needs educating himself. Good research is your answer.

I am also guilty of being a research analyst.
