I am truly enamored with these little gem tintype albums! This one is so special. I have had it in my personal collection for a little while, and now I'm releasing it back out into the wild.
Circa 1860s, it features tiny little tintype photographs called "gems" in a miniature sized leather-bound album.
There are 57 photographs total (one of them is not a tintype) and space for 39 more at the back of the album. Gilt edge pages and a brass clasp.
It is full of incredibly interesting subjects, each one with their own story. My favorite might be the gentleman in spot number one!
+++ Measurements +++
The album measures approx 3 3/8" square and 3/4" wide.
+++ Condition +++
Fair condition overall and good for its age. There is fading and wear to the cover and a tear on the edge of the back cover at the spine. Pages have some foxing and wear. Some of the photos show wear also.
+++ Please read +++
This item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age. As with all older vintage and antique items, please handle with care.
All items are sold as-is, and I do my best to point out all condition issues and provide a detailed description and photographs.
Unless specified, items have not been cleaned.
I do not accept returns or offer refunds. Please see all photos, read the entire description, and ask any questions before purchasing.
