What an awesome lot! 26 tiny portraits in total.


I believe these are referred to as tintypes. They are quite small, approximately 1.25\" x 1.5\", a few a bit smaller, a few a bit larger.


I don\'t know the differences in these tiny metal portraits, please review to ensure these are indeed what are referred to as \"tintypes\". All black and white, or shades of… And feel like very thin metal.


Men, women and children. Seems to include all ages. My favorites are the full body and three-quarter body shots. I love that one man seems to be smoking a cigar, hands on something I can\'t make out. Some women on beautiful staircases, or leaning on furniture. A very young child wearing a crucifix. The close-ups really show the period dress and even jewelry.


Some hand tinted cheeks, including a little girl who\'s actually smiling!


There\'s one gentleman who appears to be in an Abe Lincoln look-alike, with the beard and stern, craggy face.


There seem to be a few, in my opinion, of the same woman through several stages of her life. If not, perhaps they were sisters. These were all purchased in a single lot from Pennsylvania. For all I know, these were all from the same family. I do believe they are all 19th-century, but as they are undated, I cannot guarantee.


Condition, only my opinion, is good. Some have a few bubbles, some have a few old creases. Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at each and every one of these. I especially love the clothing & props.


If they don\'t sell here, I plan to arrange them all in a single frame & display in my home.


These come to you exactly as shown, as found.
