Lewis Earle Sandt- aviation pioneer, Original photos and poster
 

I am in touch with someone who has these.
Sandt died in 1913 after a plane crash.
Anyone with any thoughts on these items?
The quality of the pics I got of the photos is poor but here is the poster.

Looks cool as heck. Wish I could be of help. Hope you land it if it's real!

Very cool.

nice
 

Looks like there are three of them...it looks dynamite...long as it's not something some creative person did back in the 1970's or something...If they're right I'd sure be intersted...died in 1913...Looks very classic which makes me a little concerned...

For some reason, they just don't look right to me either. Also, Earle's name is spelled incorrectly. Certainly not dispositive, but worth noting.

There are three of them. And a group of original photos.
I am getting a mostly positive analysis by PM from another member but now there are two member posts that express a bit of doubt.
I am also hopeful of getting an interest from an author of a web page written about Sandt.

According to this website the photo on the poster was taken in June, 1913, at Grove City (his fatal flight)...

..., but according to the timeline of his flights, the exhibition in Clarion took place in September 1912.

If in fact the photo was taken in Grove City, that would have to mean the poster is a fantasy piece.

Thank you very much Joe.
Net54 collectors come through again.

I can add for future reference that early aviator stuff is popular and fetch good money. I authenticated for an auction house original photos of the first airplane crash death-- a Wright test for military where a soldier passanger died.
