Welcome to The Dead Detective eBay store, your premier destination for antique photography and vintage photography treasures. Each item in my curated collection is a rare 19th-century photo, meticulously preserved to capture a piece of history. As an expert collector specializing in identifying individuals from the 1800s, I research every antique photograph to uncover the stories behind the faces, bringing the past to life. Many of these rare photographs are showcased in my TikTok series, offering a glimpse into history worth exploring. More than just vintage decor, these pieces are windows into the 19th century. See item specifics for size, type (such as daguerreotype or tintype), and condition, with each preserved with care, reflecting its antique nature and sourced from various historical collections. Ideal for collectors of vintage photography, historians, people interested in genealogy and photography history, or anyone seeking unique 19th-century photos.
