Lot 37

Extremely rare tintype jewelry of a family set in a pair of earrings and a broach. The two drop earrings are the sons, who are either fraternal twins or brothers no more than a year apart. The broach shows the father. They were surely cherished by his wife as it appears she wore them to many functions and family gatherings over the years. The earrings are in very good plus condition with the boys’ tintypes still strong with a slight hint of tint to their cheeks. The one hanger has an irregular shape that would be an easy fix by a professional or someone with a steady hand. The broach is missing its pinback but this could also be fixed by a professional or even converted to a hanging pendant. The husband’s tintype has strong contrast and tones with some tint to his face. We don’t find a grouping like this often so buy this while you can!
