These are all tintypes not Daguerreotypes. Unfortunately there is no conservation treatment that can stop the rusting of the iron base, that is causing the collodion layer to delaminate.

This is a dream come true. So happy you found these. No way was I ever going to sell them. Too precious.

Val,
Yah- the music is royalty free, not my choice- rather have Scott Joplin. Chuckles.

You've got some tin types too. Amazing how these photos retain their image for all these years.

Ironically I have kept them in sealed containers for 35 yrs, and they are rapidly disintegrating. Am trying to find methods to stop this. These are 164 yrs old. A Pity.

Thanks Jas, I took piano and organ as a child. Scott Joplin is a major favorite as well a the greats Beethoven, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Liberace. : )

Love these old 'snapshots'. Strange to see how faces have changed.

Puppy! What also is wonderful is these are people from 1 family over a 40-50 year period from "about 1840-90. I am trying to find their descendants to give this family album back. I could btw sell it for a good chunk of change, but will not. Plans are to leave it to the Dover- Foxcroft library in Maine.

Not familiar with that particular libtrary but usually they are best kept by professionals instead of a dusty attic.
Most people don't care enough about their heritage to take care of stuff like this and.. . dageurotypes do take some taking care.
