OUT76. Lot of 3 items, 2 CDVs and 1 ninth-plate Tintype. The Tintype is identified as "Picture of John Fullerton, my Great Grandfather" as written on the envelope it came in addressed to "Mr. Leonard Maxwell, 411 East 4th St., Oil City, Pa." On the back of the envelope is written "Buried in Pioneer Cemetery in Franklyn." Mr. Fullerton is wearing a heart-shaped insignia with ribbon on his lapel. The lot came with two CDVs that have no backmark. The 3rd man from the left in the group CDV resembles John Fullerton. This CDV has a crease. These CDVs are of Titusville and/or Oil City. An interesting lot worthy of further investigation. G. $400

OUT78. McAllister & Brother, Opticians, Philadelphia. CDV of a daguerreotype of a Philadelphia street. On back is written "No. 48 Chestnut St. Dec. 1854." The image shows the McAllister & Co. building. I have not been able to locate the whereabouts of the original of this daguerreotype. It may no longer exist. It is not in the collection of the Library of Congress or the Library Company of Philadelphia. It is interesting that the image of the original daguerreotype is dated Dec. 1854 and looking at the CDV below (OUT80), one can surmise that, since some of the building signs and the bust of Ben Franklin is not shown in this image, that this was taken subsequent to OUT80 and the McAllister firm was in the process of relocating which they did in early 1855. It is also possible that the original daguerreotype from which this image as made was taken by Frederick DeBourg Richards (1822-1903), the indicated maker of OUT80. There is a crease at the lower left corner of the CDV. G+. $350

Back of duplicate CDV with manuscript...
OUT80. Coonley & Wolfersberger, Philadelphia. CDV of a daguerreotype of No. 48 Chestnut St. showing the McAllister & Co. building. When I obtained this CDV it was accompanied by an exact duplicate (back of which is shown above at right) with the following manuscript on verso: "From a daguerreotype by Richards Dec. 1, 1854." This would be Frederick DeBourg Richards (1822-1903). The original daguerreotype is in the Nelson-Atkins Museum from the Hallmark Collection. It is illustrated on page 35 of Origins of American Photography, where it is attributed to Mason. Contrast is somewhat light. G. $300

Their most renowned product was the Ames Sword. Two of the CDVs show views of the factory; the third shows an unidentified building; and the fourth, without backmark, has ink manuscript on verso "James T. Ames with compts of Geo. Hathorne Act." On front is printed "Geo. Hathorne, Architect, 111 Broadway, N.Y." James T. Ames was the factory's owner. VG. $325
