Carlton,
Love the Duke photos, but I have to say that I don't see Duke in the last 2 group shots. He was very dark skinned and no one in either of those shots seems to have the correct skin tone. The swimmers have "SC" on their uniforms. Perhaps it stands for "Swim Club" or something like that.

Nice pickup. Duke was amazing... Should you decide to let any go, I have some keen old baseball shots to trade. Surfing has become a big part of my golden years.

That is a nice group of photos. Original photos of Duke command very good prices. There are a few people in Hawai'i and on the west coast that pay premiums for them. Head to head on value he is about equal to Jim Thorpe as an Olympian price wise. Wiki actually has some incorrect information about him. He was not a member of the 1932 water polo team, he was an alternate. He was not even included in the official team photos. I have one from the estate of one of the members. Interestingly, I owned a steamship menu from the ship he took to Los Angeles for the 1932 games signed by him. Now in a collection in Germany.

Here are a few photos of him:
5x7 press photo with caption, 1920 Antwerp right after winning the 100m freestyle.
2 3/4 x 4 1/2 snapshot of him at the Olympic pool 1932.
