Modern Day Antique is dedicated to preserving the beautiful image cases of the 1800's. Using modern methods and materials, we have made the old case new.
Wet plate images, Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes and tintypes are very fragile and were sold in a case to protect and display them. Original cases were made of wood covered with paper mache or embossed leather. A velvet pinch pad held the image in place and a velvet cover pad protected the cover glass. A brass hook and eye clasp closed the case firmly. Later, more elaberate Union cases were made. These cases were much more durable. While for the most part history has shown that the cases did what they were me
