$150 USDFantastic Dog Smoking Pipe Tin Type in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog:Dog Smoking Pipe
This is the first time I have ever seen something like this, although I did see a gorilla smoking a cigar at the Central Park zoo many years ago. This adorable black and white dog is posed standing on his hind legs with a white pipe coming out of his mouth. How his owner got him to stand like this is beyond me, but I have never owned a dog, so who knows? The tin type is sixth plate size, measuring 2 3/4" by 3 1/4". It is housed in a black leather case with a nice floral embossed design on both ...
$150 USDSixth Plate Dog Tin Type in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog
I don't know the breed of this precious dog, but I'm sure you do. He is seen resting on a flowered coverlet and what I think is so endearing, the owner is resting his hand on the dogs back. As you may be aware, it was difficult to get one's pet to pose the required minute or so it took to shoot the tin type photo, so I guess this owner was encouraging him to be still. The tin type is housed in a brown leather case with matching geometric patterns on both halves and a single latch. It has an ...
$140 USDWonderful Sixth Plate Tin Type of Retriever in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog:Retriever
This is a tin type of a dog who I think is a retriever, my favorite kind. It dates to approximately 1880. The pooch is posed standing on his hind legs, which I imagine would be quite difficult considering the relatively long exposure time needed to take such tin types. Such an obedient pet. He is housed in a leather photo case with a pretty embossed design showing a floral bouquet. The tin type measures 3 1/4" by 2 3/4". It is in fair condition showing some emulsion loss on one side, which doesn ...

$160 USDFantastic And Very Rare Tin Type of 19th Century Cat
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Cat
This is something you don't see everyday and perhaps only a few times in your lifetime. This is a rare tintype from the late 19th century (approximately 1880's) of someone's prized cat. Photography being what it was at the end of the 19th century it took the better part of a minute (sometimes longer) for a tintype photo to be taken and the subject had to sit very still. Can you imagine your cat sitting relatively still for that long a time while his photo to be taken? As is evident from my site, ...

$95 USDQuarter Plate Daguerreotype of Gentleman in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Daguerreotypes
This fine daguerreotype is of a gentleman taken about the middle of the 19th century (1840 - 1850). Daguerreotypes were the first form of photography and were printed on a glass plate with a silver emulsion.
