I have many photos that are at least 110 years old and quite a few that are at least 10 years older than that. I am scanning them in order to preserve them ,as some are fading and breaking up.

How successful have you been in scanning the tin-types? Mine do not do well, and I have a top of the line scanner.

I have a number of tintypes, the oldest of which dates to about 1860 (I identified the subject & based on her dob & apparent age concluded it was c. 1860). I have had no trouble scanning these & the rouge tint on the cheeks comes through fine. I have used basic (I think )flatbed scanners, one was an HPScaanjet 4890 & my current one is an Epson Perfection V500
