It pains me to say this, but Iām letting go of my beloved collection of tintype photographsābecause apparently, you canāt pay divorce lawyers in 19th-century photographs. š©
This lot of 10 authentic antique tintypes and gem photos is packed with soul, style, and more serious expressions than a Victorian funeral. Some are encased, some free-floating, all hauntingly beautiful. These photos have been part of my home and heart, but now it's time for them to haunt someone else's walls (in the best way).
šø What youāre getting:
10 tintype and gem-style portraits (men, women, children, maybe a vampireāwe donāt ask questions here)
Mostly 1800s Civil Warāera, possibly early 1900s
Includes seated studio portraits, formal wear, and those unforgettable āIām smiling on the insideā looks
One card even has names on itāM.B. Greene, possibly the family ringleader?
š”Perfect for:
Vintage photo collectors
History buffs
Halloween displays or cabinet of curiosities
DIY collage artists or dƩcor magicians
Anyone who wants to say āthese are my ancestorsā with zero proof
š¬ Seller confession:
I hate to part with these folks, but Iām currently going through a divorce and every penny counts. So help me send this mysterious Victorian squad to a good homeābonus points if you promise to name them and give them backstories.
