The links have confirmed that this is a copy photo and dates from the same time period as the other "Vermont finds".
According to the auction links, these photos are believed to be from 1902- 1920 from the photographer information that came in the grouping. This tintype is a contemporary of those photos.
Why some copies were done as tintypes vs. paper prints is not known.
I would think that the tintype has a value comparable to the paper images made in the early 20th century.
