C. 1860s Mourning Pendant with Daguerreotype Portrait of Young Man in Folding Case color-aid and to my eye just

and to my eye just exactly the right sort of bowl to have live on the kitchen--ideally one with warmly worn butcher block countertops and warm afternoon sunlight

The wear to the polychromed surface

and could certainly be put to use once again

and rusting around the edges as pictured

This and one other are a combination of black and cream

C. 1860s Mourning Pendant with Daguerreotype Portrait of Young Man in Folding Case color-aid and to my eye just(first image shows both front and back of pendant) I'm not at all an expert on early photography, but I look a lot, and follow my eye, and am learning along the way. I do know it is not very often I come across mourning pendants lockets, which is what this is, with dag portrait of a young man on one side and a glass windowed niche on the flip side for holding a lock of hair. The hair locket on this one was never filled or at least holds nothing now
