Half Plate Daguerreotype Family-Full Case
Item #: NEW-0014622

Click image to enlarge
Wear to the case but it is intact.  Someone has worked on the case which is worn and the shoe polish or whatever is uneven. Someone has inquired as to whether or not it might be a post mortem.  I think it is just a sleeping child but feel to correct me if I'm wrong.  This to me is what is fun about photos that are not documented, you can have fun speculating about it.

Half Plate Daguerreotype-Two Young Men-Occupational
Item #: NEW-0013052

Click image to enlarge
As with most half plate dags, the case has become detached.     The clarity is very good and the tinting adds to the attraction.  There are condition problems however, the most distracting being scattered spotting throughout the entire surface.  Will send a high resolution scan upon request as my web site can't handle it.

George Washington Thermoplastic Case
Item #: NEW-0011525

Click image to enlarge
Hard to find case which also happens to have a fairly decent daguerreotype in it.  However, after I bought it I soon discovered that it was split on the left right hand edge all the way down.  It had previously been repaired but came apart when I took the original ambro out of it.  I have re-glued it and am hoping that it will hold as it still presents well except for the split down the edge and a small tip chip on the back. See scans..

Daguerreotype Brooch-Gold Filled
Item #: NEW-0010824

Dags are rare to find in a brooch setting and this is handsome young man to boot.  There are scratches on the crystal but I don't believe on the dag. I don't know if that can be polished off or not. There is slight solarization on the left side.  Locket measures one a half inches by one and a quarter inch.

Item #: NEW-008428

Click image to enlarge
Sealed daguerreotype of an attractive family who are all holding their pose resulting in excellent clarity. There is a small ring of tarnish around the gold pin the the father's white shirt. See scan. There are some problems with the case which is Sir Roger deCoverly and the Gypsies, listed as a scarce case. The velvet pillow is somewhat loose and the image is quite loose caused by the loss of half of the velvet border. Corner chips and some bites. Case does not snap closed. Also some scratches in one area of the front cover.

Handsome Gentleman- Dag-Oval Case

I started not to list this since both the dag and the thermoplastic case have condition problems, however, this image was culled from the Herb Peck collection and the man is identified in the back. "T H Chapman Sr father of T H Jr. grandfather of W D Chapman." Large brown stain on the dag which might be able to be removed by a professional. Case has some cracks along the edges but is still intact.

Dag-Mop Case-Little Girl Holding Photo Case
Item #: NEW-007937

Click image to enlarge
Nice sixth plate daguerreotype of a precious little girl holding onto a photograph case. The case is sealed, but it looks like a later seal placed on top of the old one. Solarization is present in the ring around the image. The mat is marked E. H. McKenney, Biddeford (Maine). I don't see any scratches but there are a couple of brown spots on her arm just below the sleeve. The mother of pearl case has crazing and the paint has almost worn off. The spine is torn at the top about a third of the way down but is still intact. Chip out of bottom right hand corner. The clasp still works.

Click image to enlarge
Please views the scans to see the condition of this nice daguerreotype of a young boy whose arm is resting on a book. Nice clarity and contrast. Case has a repaired spine. Case in good condition but you have to push it closed to close the clasp. I think the edge of the pillow is sticking out and causing this problem.

Attractive young man who is wearing what looks like a fraternity pin, possibly Sigma Chi but it has been gilded so you really can't tell. The name of the photographer has been cut out of something and is enclosed under the glass. "Gage, Artist, St Johnsbury Vt."
