<p>[QUOTE="lelliott19, post: 132415, member: 1971"]Picked this up at a local estate sale today. The picture inside on the right is a tiny tintype of what appears to be a post-mortem aged gentleman. The other image appers to be clipped from a CDV. Both images are covered with a sheet of mica instead of glass. The locket is engraved "Mary Henderson." Just wondering if anyone has ever seen mica used in place of glass before in these lockets? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]34123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]34126[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
