tintype man & Girls holding open watch or photo locket 1800s Unusual Mourning? full plate after that I found someInteresting original tintype, a man holding an open locket or watch with to little girls, their hands on his shoulder, looking at it solemnly. Maybe it's a mourning memorial photographic locket? I can't really tell take a look at the close up and see what you think. Very good antique condition.. a couple of small, light bends, a spot near the man's face, otherwise very good. Dimensions are about 3. 5" x 2. 25".
