Barry and Rob,

I really did not have time to research the photo as the first person who looked at it wanted, was one of my good customers. It was only about 1 inch square as stated above - I do know it was from an old house in Vermont and yes it was on eBay. I could no remember the name, but the word gem tintype seems familiar, even the rest of the photos in the case were amazing to look at. The style does have that 1860s or early 1870s look, the seller stated it was 1870s – but with something this old it can be hard to tell. I do know that tintypes were used more in the 1870s and 1880s. This was a very interesting piece that is why I wanted to keep a copy of the photo.

Take care

Jimmy
