    Hope this is the nearest relevant category for this tintype (I think) photo. It has the revenue stamp attached to the back. Wondering if this adds any rarity or value?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    In general, some collectors like revenue stamps on photographs since it dates the item to a narrow range in the 1860s. So I imagine it could add some value for some people. I have never seen a stamp on a cased image before, but I don't look for stamps. It does appear to be a tintype, from here. Is the image printed on metal? If so, that is what it is.
