Cases were not common for tintypes. They normally came in paper frames. The exception was the very early tintypes. Tintypes appeared before the negative formats were available. At the time dags and ambros were delivered in ases. So early tin-types into the 1860s were delivered in cases as well. The advantage of a tintype was that it was cheaper. Thus the framing might be expected to be more basic. The cases we have seen, however, seem similar to those for dags and ambros. As best we can tell though, tin types may have often been delivered with just the frame and not the case.
