It has aLittlefield Parsons label with a mat, preserver and glass but no image.
I am inthe process of listing and selling my collection of Daguerrean era photographicimages and cases (mostly thermoplastic Union Cases often mistakenly referred toas “Gutta Percha”), acquired over the past 40+ years. Used to protectdaguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes, the cases are an art form in their ownright. I still have more than 300 cases and images yet to be listed, so pleasecheck back often for new items.
A Noteabout Condition. I leave cases and images in their “as-found” condition. I donot attempt to repair cases. If original seals are present on an image I willnot disturb them. If an image is unsealed, I will clean the cover glass ifnecessary but I do not attempt to clean the images themselves.
