Framing Tintypes

This is an example of some of the custom framing I like to do for tintypes.  I made this little wooden box by hand, sealing the tintype behind glass, and finishing with satin ribbon for the binding.  This is a reinterpretation of the original tintype cases that would have held the metal plates.  The finished piece is 3"x3" and is ready to travel with in a coat pocket or set on a dresser top.
