This item is actually 3.5 by 5.5 inches in size. It's a tintype of "Aunt Laura and Husband." Tintypes were a process of printing imagery on metal. The photograph was probably taken during the late 1800s. The tintype is glued to a sweet card marked "Lovingly Yours" with the image of Aunt Laura and Husband encircled with a heart. A sweet gift to a lucky niece or nephew.
Printed in the early 1900's, this wedding certificate features a bride and groom being joined in Holy Matrimony by the minister. They stand under a lucky horseshoe. A couple of cherubs hold the banner, ready for a deserving couple to record their details. Two hands shake below the banner and "Good Luck" is offered to the lucky couple. A chain encircles the entire bridal party. The bows outside the chains are simply a gorgeous graphic detail.
