Antique Picture - Abe Lincoln?
« on: March 04, 2013, 01:08:11 pm »
Hello

I own this small antique picture. It is in a leather box, as pictured.

To me the subject resembles Abraham Lincoln.

I would appreciate any information anyone may have.

Thanks

Ben

It's not Lincoln. Nice little daguerreotype though. Could be worth a fair bit


Any history of it ?

Do you have the other part of the box? Is it leather or Percha Gutta?
