THE AUCTION IS CLOSED

Lot 62

Extremely rare half-plate leather Mascher case, Berg 9-13. This one is the classic plain brown leather pushbutton case with metal hinges, which is particularly crucial for the heavier weight of the case. Inside the viewer and the lenses are extremely clean and it also has the stereo brass mat and preserver with the glass. The leather on the front has expected wear and the back has a few extra light scuffs but overall it is in very good plus condition. If you’ve been looking for a case for a special stereo daguerreotype or you want to replace a worn version don’t miss on this opportunity.


Opening bid:$350

Lot 63

Gorgeous rare red/brown thermoplastic CDV frame,“Logs and Leaves,” Berg 7-34. This is in excellent minus condition with a super nice gloss and a gold-gilded border. It houses a CDV of an attractive young woman. The frame still retains all the clips, the swivel clasp and the hook on top. Someone has even fashioned a wire stand for it to sit on your shelf or mantle. It has a Patented Date of Aug 7 1855, Rochester, NY.


Opening bid: $100

Lot 64

Beautiful brown thermoplastic Oreo case with a tintype. This is listed as Berg 5-14 in Paul’s original book. The new book shows a slightly different case, with 5-14 but this one is exactly like Berg 5-14G without the gilding. It contains a sharp tintype of a handsome young man. The case is in excellent minus condition with the tiniest stress line on the inside front cover rim that we just noticed. It unscrews with ease.


Opening bid: $45

Lot 65

Lovely sixth-plate brown leather case with a gold-gilded scroll design on the border of both sides of the case. This is similar to Berg 5-201Ga. While it doesn’t have an image there is a brass mat, preserver and glass present for that special image.


Opening bid: $35

Current bid: $35
