Tintype of Handsome Student. Very nice tinted 1/6 plate. Very good condition. $20
Tintype of Three Ladies with Bicycles. Fun 1/6 plate from late 1800’s. Great hats. From the look of things, this must have been a transient resort photographer, because it looks like the “studio” is a tent or tarp. You can see a building peeking up in the top left. Love the bedraggled plants. Condition is very good. It was once in a paper frame, because you can see the very slight outline of the curved opening. $35
