Tintype
Browse the history of Tintype through vintage photographs.
Found in an antique store. Handwritten note attached - "Mrs. Hattie Faulkner Key [sic] oldest daughter of Aunt Emma". Note the little golden bits attached to her throat and finger to look like jewelry. At first I thought they were debris and almost tried to scrape them off.

A photo of an unknown family - tintype. In the main family album - Haight, Butler, Hargis, Mackey, am searching in my tree to see if there is anyway I may deduce who they could be. Maybe as far back as Polhemus, Stone, Barnes, Wellington, Applegate, so many more... But if anyone happens to be familiar or even if you have these folks in another photo, it may help deduce who they are by which lines you are more closely related to.

This is a old copy of a tintype photo. Don't know the relationship or who they are. My family are Youngblood living in the area of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. My grt grand father was Lemuel Youngblood aka Lem and wife Ellen Francis Bowen. My grandparents were Isom Izarone Youngblood and Pearl Margaret Wilson; however, none of the Wilsons recognize the people nor have pictures of anyone near the resemblance of these two men.

No one in the family has any idea who these men could be. They appear well dressed but they could have borrowed the clothes from the photographer. It is printed on metal.
