Jeane's, 415 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware." Exterior case of black em-bossed leather-like material with vase/urn medallion. Hinge side may have been repaired. Hooked with a single hook. Case fairly worn. 3" x 5" Est. $300 - $500 / Ship: $15 There is a wonderful selection of Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Tintypes and photos in this sale. Most of the items came to us from one consignor. The consignor had hired an expert to appraise the collection. As our specialty is really 20th c. self-taught art, and not photography, we used the descriptions determined by the consignors appraiser in our catalog. We have received numereous emails regarding our descriptions and advice about correcting original mistakes from ebay bidders which we truly appreciate. Based on this advice we have revised many of the descriptions. This particular item is not attracted to a magnet, but also doesn't have the characteristics of a daguerreotype or ambrotype. It is possibly a photo.

Case fairly worn
