Experts have verified a tintype picture bought for just dollars is that of Billy the Kid and the man who killed him, Sheriff Pat Garrett. It’s a find that could be worth millions.
A cool old picture of five men in the Old West went up for sale at a flea market in Asheville, North Carolina in 2011.
It caught the attention of history buff Frank Abrams, who decided to spend the $10 to buy it. The picture sat up on a wall as a decoration for years.
Then in 2015, news broke of a newly verified photo of Billy the Kid playing croquet. It was one of only two of the famous outlaw known to exist, and it was worth $5 million.
That’s when Abrams started researching Billy the Kid, and noticed a familiar character in his picture.
“I said, ‘Oh my gosh, he looks like Pat Garrett,’” Abrams said.
