Snowman, yes, I feel sorry for all those museums and libraries that will have to change all the dates in their collections because they've been wrong all these years. But what I'm wondering is how exactly would you be able to prove who wins the Wright bet? As you can see here, it's nearly impossible for everyone to agree, and the "experts" sometimes end up striking out.
Bob, you are a very wise man. I should point out that I won the auction for the Knickerbocker stereoview on 12/26/19. Almost two years ago. So it's not as though I haven't had time to research it six ways to Sunday. I posted here after I felt that I would be ready to answer any question or concern, which I believe I have. Of course whether my answers are accepted by the questioner is up to him. But I certainly haven't run away from anything. I think Snowman said it above, but it echoes my feelings that I can totally understand how someone can say that it's difficult to believe that a Knickerbocker photo could just be purchased on eBay without any provenance or history. But it's quite another, in my opinion, for someone to say that he sees absolutely no resemblances at all and not one of these people looks remotely like the comparison photo. I seriously question their motives.
