Hello!
I am seeking paper ephemera, images of plate boxes, or information on identified plates for the following dry collodion plate manufacturers.
The Tannin Dry Plate Co.
The Liverpool Dry Plate Co.
The Uranium Dry Plate Co.
The Patent Dry Collodion Plate Co. (I have located two packages of plates, some plates, and some paper ephemera . But would still like more info in case there is something I have missed. RPS)
The Birmingham Dry Collodion Plate Co.
The Birmingham Dry Collodion Plate and Film Co. (I have located one box of plates. RPS)
As dry collodion plates were mainly manufactured in Brimingham, Liverpool, and London I thought this would be the prefect group for this inquiry. Thank you for your consideration!
