Very rare and beautiful, 1850's, Gold Filled Locket containing a Daguerreotype portrait of a young Man. This outstanding, original 1850's, Daguerreotype Locket measures approx. 1 5/8? in diameter and is shaped like a miniature, hunter case pocket watch. The original, daguerreotype portrait of the young man measures approx. 1 1/4? in diameter. The Locket is unmarked but tests Gold Filled. This wonderful Daguerreotype Locket is in excellent condition and is very beautiful. The original, beveled cover glass, which protects the daguerreotype portrait, is intact and has never been removed. The daguerreotype photo is in excellent condition - sealed within the locket and never cleaned or altered in any way but with some age appropriate tarnishing to the surface. The Locket has a pressure activated closure mechanism - a ?tab? on one of the faces opens the case and revealing the daguerreotype within. The closure is tight and works perfectly. The exterior surfaces of the locket are quite beautiful with engine turning and in excellent condition with no "dings", scratches, significant wear, damage or repairs of any kind. A rare and very beautiful, 1850's, Gold Filled Locket containing an outstanding Daguerreotype portrait of a young Man and a fantastic addition to any collection.
