Dags have a silvery finish that reflects, and the image can only be seen well from certain angles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ambrotypes and tintypes are similar to each other, except that tintypes are printed on darkened thin metal plates, usually made of iron.</p><p><br /></p><p>You probably should get that image into a case or frame as soon as possible. The image appears to be in fairly good condition, and a case will help to keep it that way![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
