<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 3681207, member: 18802"]Thank you for the replies. I just got done photographing these a little better, thus got a closer look at the cases, backing, etc. I think most of these are tin types in what look to me like daguerreotype or ambrotype cases. Is that what those cases are in my photos? Was it common for people to put tin types or CDV's in these types of cases back in the day? Lastly, I think I want to remove all these photos from these cases. As long as they are tin type photos in the cases, they should be ok to remove, correct? I'm pretty comfortable knowing what a tin type looks like. Just not as certain about a daguerreotype or ambrotype photo. Thanks again for the feedback![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
