<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4479967, member: 33&quot;]That style of case was used for daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes from 1840s through 1860s. Daguerreotypes in the 1840s-1850s and the other two were prevalent in the 1850s and 1860s. The preserver (the thin decorative brass rim around the mat) is of the type used in late 1850s and 1860s. I&#039;m guessing your item was put into the case at a later date, but perhaps not much later. It is hard to guess because the half case was reused.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
