    Repro Image Cases

    Gents-

    If you are in need of a repro tintype or ambro image case perhaps the outfit listed below maybe of assistance. I know some use originals but many of us can't bring ourselves to do that.

    Just another way to bleed your wallet ;)

    Have you had any dealings with this company? I sent them a question on a half plate case about a year ago and never heard anything back. I wondered if they are still in business.

      Jim-

      I purchased a 1/4 plate case this past April/May from him. I think he is a one horse show so he is slow getting back to people. IIRC I had to break down and call him to get the ball rolling. Once I did that things moved a little quicker. It still took about three weeks to get something that was "in-stock" but the attached pictures of my case will give you an idea of his work.

        They look pretty good, and the price isn't bad. Antique cases are getting expensive and hard to find. Plus I always felt squeamish taking out someone else's image to put in mine, even if I saved it.

          I have several of their cases. Never had any issue. Nice quality.
