mourning & post mortem lot - locket & ambrotype:
$1375.00

Lot of two items:

1) An engraved gold locket with TWO post mortem tintypes enclosed, both in excellent
vintage condition. No bends or scratches. In the close up, that is not a scratch on
the child\'s head, it\'s lint or something. Also, I don\'t have a gold test kit, but
the locket is obviously antique, 1850s, and is in very good conditionoverall.
I just can\'t get thecover to click closed.. the pics might need to be adjusted (?)

2) 1/6 ruby ambrotype of a young girl holding a portrait of a man in one hand, with
a handkerchief on her lap. There is some writing inside the case but I\'m having
trouble reading it.. looks like possibly a location and short poem. Excellent
condition in half of its original case.Free Shipping:

Insured Priority Mail.
