Description: In-Depth Description: This listing features a rare and antique Photomatic tin photo frame, circa early 1900s, produced by the International Mutoscope Corporation in New York City. The frame contains an original black-and-white portrait of a distinguished gentleman wearing spectacles and a bow tie. Photomatic frames were once a common souvenir from early photo booths, making this a significant piece of photography history. This frame's built-in easel on the back allows it to stand freely or hang for display, and it includes original embossed text detailing its patent-pending status. Photomatic frames of this era are considered highly collectible due to their historical significance and the early innovation of photobooth technology.Rarity and Year: Frames like this, produced between 1900-1920, are relatively rare in today's market, especially in this condition. Photomatic frames were a novelty, and many have not survived intact over the years. The particular subject matter of the portrait, along with the preserved state of the tin frame, adds to its desirability.
