1st photo:

Showing a group of 5 amazing old tintypes photos from 1860’s to 1870’s very possibly showing a Young Billy TheKid (bottom left) ?? + Family (Mum?, Girlfriend possibly Paulita Maxwell?, Sallie Chisum??) + other friends (Dan Dedrick - top left ??) or other relatives. I purchased all 5 of these tintypes as one job lot, with the saleeer believing that they were all linked in some way (e.g. family, mum, girlfriend, friend etc) and probably all knew each other.

So I’m calling on all Wild West Historians, Librarians & Experts (facial recognition or otherwise) for anycomments please.

These 5 Tintypes are of 3 women and 2 of young men. The 3 women are ofvarious ages, one is 3 3/8 x 2 3/8", one is 3 x 1 7/8", and one is 3 x 2".

One of the two men (Dan Dedrick??) is housed in abrowned CDV holder, the image appearing oval and in good shape; this young man hasa lot of hair and is almost smiling.

The other very young man (possibly a young Billy) is 2 1/16 x1" and looks very serious.

So I am conducting research (and comments from members are very welcome) into whether one of these (bottom left) is indeed depicting a young Billy TheKid? If so, it would be the youngest ever Billy photo!!

2nd photo (not for sale but for reference and comparison purposes only - please note I don’t have this tintype in my possession):

The second photo in my listing I have shown a known tintype purportedly of a young Billy with his mother (researched from a website called ‘Jessejamesphotoalbum.com’, and the likeness to the young Billy in the 5 tintypes group (bottom left) is quite an amazing striking resemblance. What do you think ?

3rd photo: This is my comparison photo of Young Billy in my tintype (bottom left in 1st photo) V Young Billy in Jessiejamesphotoalbum.com website). What do you think? Close similarities?

4th photo:

Is of a known tintype photo taken from a Daily Mail (UK) website where the journalist or editor has strongly suggested that Dan Dedrick is shown with the long wavy hair next to Billy the Kid.

5th photo: Is my comparison photo of Dan Dedrick in the Daily Mail article v Dan Dedrick in my tintype (top left in 1st photo). What do you think?

Thanks for looking at my listing and to all those Wild West Historians, Librarians & Experts, your comments would be so much appreciated please in the interests of US national historical importance.
