Sp this photo is on ebay, listed as being a 1917 portrait of Gehrig as a freshman in HS. In the listing, the seller states the notation HLG-17 is written on the back and signifies that it's Gehrig. I don't agree.

I don't think this is Gehrig and wanted the board member's opinions.
The following photo is a photo taken from Eig's book reported to be from when he graduated elementary school. It would've been the year before the listed photo was taken. I don't think they look alike.

Also, in every picture I have seen of Gehrig with a really big smile, he has big double dimples(see pic below for what I mean) on both sides of his mouth. This child doesn't.
