Item Description
Aside from being a rare example from the final years of the ferrotype photo era, this (see #109 Cleveland mate) is one of the rare instances that incorporates ferrotype photos into a three dimensional object. The drum's side is made of a rolled strip of embossed brass with details including tension springs and other accents. The drum is 9/16" deep and 13/16" in dia. Tiny tabs hold the ferrotypes in position as the drum heads. Across the top of the Harrison ferro there is a very slight bend along the edge. This tiny area not level with the rest of the surface catches reflected light but otherwise both ferros are in superb condition being highly reflective and with the few tiny dots of emulsion loss being essentially microscopic. Over 99% emulsion remains intact. Top edge of drum has a fixed brass ring which holds a second moveable ring so this item could be used as a watch chain novelty. Rare and NM.
