Babe Ruth photo help
 
3 Attachment(s)
Looking for some photo experts to weigh in on this. I've never seen this photo before. It appears to be taken in St. Petersburg, FL.

A couple of questions:
  • Is it a known image?
  • Does it appear to be during his playing days, or after he retired? One photo attributes it to the '30s.Found out from news reports it was in the winter of 1932.
  • What may be it's value?
It is up for sale tomorrow in a local auction. I've included a couple of other images from the same hunt. The auction is for the one that is framed.
Thanks!

I can't tell if it's original or not from the image. Though 1930s originals were often sepia like that, so it could be. He looks as if it's from his playing days. If original $100-$150 would be a fair price, It's an unusual image, but I don't know if an alligator tied to the bumper raises or lowers the value.
