What a bummer. Well where to start.... There was a decent amount of white mold growth and a moldy smell coming from the case. The image isn't...
I should receive the image in a few days. Fingers crossed there isnt anything hidden that wasnt shown in the pictures. Hopefully no scratches on...
Wow, I don't think I'd go as far as to say she is post-mortem.... Post-mortem daguerreotypes are very obvious. Maybe she just went with a blank...

What color do you guys think the dress was originally? Black? But then tinted blue/greenish?

I believe it to be the original setting as well. The diamond has a flat cutlet and frosted girdle. It is also cracked which I would assume wouldnt...
The stickpin is sitting in my little display case with my others. I didn't want to mess with it and kept it the way I found it!
I have had this ring for quite some time and now and awhile back I had someone look at it and told me it was more modern. Well, I went back to it...
