C. 1860s Mourning Pendant with Daguerreotype Portrait of Young Man in Folding Case color-aid The wear to the polychromed(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.

The hair locket on this one was never filled or at least holds nothing now
