<p>[QUOTE="*crs*, post: 10141572, member: 196"]Hey y'all!! Thought I would slide over from the pottery & glass forum <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I have several photos on cardstock (64, except 6 that are tintypes) for several years just because it is daunting to figure out exactly what I have. It's time I tried to do something with them. I know what cabinet cards are (approximately 4 1/4" x 6 1/2") and CDVs (approximately 2 1/12" x 4 1/8"). I have a bunch that don't fit these sizes. Thought I would start with the most of 1 style that I have. These are all 5" x 6" (11) and 12th one measures 5 1/4" x 6 1/4". All have writing on the back and quite a few with handwritten dates of 1904 with the largest one being dated 1906. All the backs look the same. All have an iridescent sheen like a negative like a gelatin print? But from what I've read gelatin prints are on glass. It's all clear as mud to me, LOL.HELP! please. Thank you.
