CIVIL WAR ERA CASED IMAGE of POST MORTEM TIN PHOTO OF YOUNG GIRL w LOCK OF HAIR

  
Original tin photo of post mortem child with a lock of her hair hidden behind the image in the case. There was also a piece of an 1871 Chicago newspaper with the hair wrapped in it. The case is complete but needs a coat of beeswax to clean it up. Clasp is intact and works fine.

Good original hinge on the case halves. This is a nice item I procured at an estate sale in Barry County, Michigan a number of years ago.

The image is clean and crisp in detail with good contrast. The item "CIVIL WAR ERA CASED IMAGE of POST MORTEM TIN PHOTO OF YOUNG GIRL w LOCK OF HAIR" is in sale since Monday, March 05, 2018.
