<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HippAntiques, post: 1890165, member: 10921&quot;]So, I&#039;m not a huge expert on old photos. We know a little, and know the difference </p><p>between Tin types, Ambrotypes, daguerreotype, etc. But.....I&#039;m not sure what the term is for this type of photo. We were thinking a gem, but I think gems were smaller, and not mounted. What is the term for this type of photo, mounted on a card? Based on the motif around the edge, it looks like it&#039;s from the Civil War era. The photo itself measures 2 in tall and 1 1/2 in wide. The card measures almost 4 in tall and 2 1/2 in wide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any info! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]244562[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]244563[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
