What it is
{"overview":"The Talbot Errtee button tintype camera is a late 19th \/ early 20th century specialist tintype camera designed for producing small ferrotype portraits, of the type used by itinerant street and fairground photographers. Inspect the body for completeness of the tintype-handling mechanism, check the lens for haze and separation, and confirm that any original carrying case or accessories are present, as missing components are effectively impossible to source.

Questions
Is the Talbot Errtee button tintype a usable camera or a collector's piece?
It is best regarded as a collector's and display piece — original tintype plates and the specific consumables it was built around are no longer commercially available, so its value is historical rather than practical.
