This is a Daguerreotype of a young woman in a Genuine Union Case. It is hinged and closes. Made of thermoplastic and a design of Deer and Tree both back and front. S.Peck patent Oct 31 1854, Sept 5 1856, H.Halverson patent Aug 7 1855 assigned to S. Peck. That is the manufacture of the case.

This was found by my Aunt Rhoda (Cairns) Hamilton in a small antique store on Roy Street in Ormstown. A shot in the dark if any one can I.D this lady and family.  Email: Ron Cairns
