1909 Fraternity boy (?) Private collection.
This one did not scan well. The process made the dark parts look like silver, so I toyed with it some. Does anyone out there know the pin he’s wearing? I’m guessing a fraternity by other examples I’ve seen.
An adult wrote the date on the back in pencil, then below it a toddler (I strongly assume) wrote it again, also in pencil. :)

This man is so ‘pretty’ he looks like a doll. His wide eyes stare into the distance while the women are looking directly into the camera.
Beautiful couple. Private Collection.
My first tintype. This couple blows my mind they are so beautiful together. And her hat! Who were they? Where was this taken? He seems self-assured, she looks a bit weary. Long day at the fair?

Outdoors. 2.5″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.
An outdoor shot. He’s well dressed and seems to be hanging out at a park on a sunny day.
I estimate this one to be from the 20s or early 30s.
Photographer: unknown candid.
Bowery Boy. Private Collection.
This one feels special to me. This young man walked the streets my characters roam in their little universe. He has kind eyes, don’t you think? And he was right smack in the middle of the slums.
