If it's a very clear and well-composed image, on a tintype created from 1902-20, then I would personally value it around $200-300, unless it's a larger tintype, then it would be more. What's the size?

Thanks Scott.

It is about 5 X 7.

It is appropriate that it turned out to be second generation or copy image-- I am currently writing a book on 19th century copy images.
