<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 9240637, member: 18802"]Thanks for all the replies! I just held the ambrotype up to a light source, and the glass looked red. Would that date the ambro further, if it were ruby? I don't have a piece of glass, mat and case for this photo. It's a 4.25x3.25" 1/4 plate. Till I can get a proper protective case, what would be the best way to store/preserve the image? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for the info. about the possible earthquake photo. I will research it further. How are you all storing these larger cabinet type photos? I want to protect both of these cabinet era photos as well, but I'm not sure of the best way to store them, since they are mounted on a large board? Most of my smaller photos are in archival plastic sleeves. As for the baseball photo, I'm trying to determine if the photo was done by a Charles "Betts" Waite of Tacoma, WA, or maybe Alvin Waite, also living near Tacoma during this period. I was trying to determine who the team is. It says Grand Hearin(s)?, I think. But I'm not finding much with that search. I thought maybe it was a high school team from the Tacoma area. Anyway, thanks again for the feedback![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
