Back in the 1980's Anton Fury bought some negatives in a garage sale, just recently he got them developed only to discover they where very rare photos of Marilyn Monroe.
Fury was startled to find the envelope contained these rare treasures of the legendary actress, "I couldn't tell what they were, I could see they were a girl in a bikini but beyond that I didn't know, so I bought them. I took them home and imagine my surprise". He had kept them stored in a filling cabinet, until this year. Fury an amateur photographer, was having a clean out and found the envelope, what a delight to find out Marilyn Monroe was staring in them, Anton insisted he will not become a millionaire from this but also says "I'm not out here trying to make a million dollars - although that would be nice. We're trying to find out what these are". Fury tells reporters that the images are creating quite an international stir saying, "I've gotten a million calls from all over the world, from media all over the world. From Australia this morning, Germany, Colombia, it's crazy".
The pictures are thought to be taken around 1951 or 1952, maybe taken near Hollywood Hills.
The pictures that where stored for 30 years where bought for $2 in Parsippany New Jersey, what a find, time to go through your draws and cabinets peeps who knows what you may find.
