1/6 plate collodion (ambrotype) in a larger oversized pressed leather(?) pocket case.
Not daguerrotype.
Case clasp still intact and functioning.
Case shows normal age wear however hinge is split.
Appears to have been repaired at some point with adhesive cloth tape.
Interior has velvet and ornate gilt photo frame.
Amazing photo of mature woman standing next to tassled chair.
