Randy, I don’t think your attachments uploaded, unless it’s just me who can’t see them.

I’m a little embarrassed having titled this thread 19th Century Glass Plate Negatives when in the set of plates I posted there are two plates of cars that clearly were made in the early 20th Century. I had simply repeated what my colleague had said about the vintage of the plates without reflecting on it!

Is there a way to change the thread title to Vintage Glass Plate Negatives? There’s no reason to limit it to the 19th Century in any case. Early 20th Century plates would be of just as much interest.

A Mod will help you.

They show just fine here. It's probably to do with the link in the post which sometimes doesn't work on apple devices.

Both very nice plates BTW, Randy, I like them a lot! Particularly the first one.

You guys have a gold mine.

Some of us have been posting old glass negs willy-nilly. Maybe we have a dedicated thread and we need to merge.

I shot a couple 100-year-old NOS 5X7 plates a few months ago and posted somewhere.

Thanks Bob!

I am working on many things.

Now I jump in the truck and drive 500 miles.

See you all on the flip-flop.

Awesome pics!

I’ve recently finished up a project of contact printing whole plates taken around the turn of the century by a local amateur photographer. The plates belong to the local historical society. I scanned the prints and if ever get to it will post some examples here.

Cameron,

I've been to some of those places.
