Young Woman with Pink Cheeks, Gold Jewelry, Lace Collar, Antique Folk Art Painted Tintype fraktur I found this old bee

I found this old bee box at the end of an almost completely fruitless day poking around southern Maine last weekend--but it alone made the day worthwhile

Signed IKEY and I would guess maybe 1940s-60s but am not completely sure

just a bit of wear around the edge of the lid

5" tall x 2 1/8" in diameter

Young Woman with Pink Cheeks, Gold Jewelry, Lace Collar, Antique Folk Art Painted Tintype fraktur I found this old beeIt's been a bit since I found a painted folk art tintype I really love, but connection at first sight with this young woman, found in Maine. I love her intensity and pink cheeks and expression, which feels like a cross between pout and snarl! Excellent hair and headband too. And with what looks like a drippy red signature at lower right. Full of life 8 3 8" x 6 1 2". Good condition, with some light bends to tin at upper corners, more pronounced in
