Tanner, that is the coolest thing I've seen all day week month year!

Not only the design of the holder, but the execution of the end product. Bravo!

Very cool project, decided to try and scan a few glass slides I have, turned out pretty good.

It will sort of work with a regular flat bed scanner. A pro style photo scanner is different in that there is a regular glass surface and the cover also has a glass surface and its own scanner arm that runs back and forth.

Here are yours with a little work.

The Bowerman was not a good enough scan to work with though you can see that his name was written in the original negative above his head. Once you start cropping and enhancing the color you can see the dust spots and negative scratches. I cleaned some of them up.

Well done Tanner !!

I've written about the glass plate negatives at length in past, enjoyed studying the Vermont find through Terry Knouse Sr. and the Saco River offering. When I lay my eyes upon a Goodwin negative I'm drawn to the history as it relates to Goodwin and Co. as opposed to the Vermont find itself but thankful ~88 authentic negatives were preserved via the find. You now need to obtain the negative that is a match to your Vermont find photo & your N172.

Did you notice that the ball was moved on the N172 vs the original negative? Jay and I have spotted quite a few poses in which the ball was moved on the N172 (likely on the 24 card negative).

Here is a copy of the Boyce negative that is a match to your photo; lot #93 at the Jan 2015 Saco River Offering.



Many of the negatives exhibit remarkable clarity that simply cannot be enjoyed on a small N172 or even on the N173s. Wish some of my favorite players were amongst the find, would love to see a Charlie Bennett (Tomlinson Studio), Lady Baldwin or Deacon White (Fearnaught Studio), or Sam Thompson (Gray Studio) negative.

The custom mounts with gold foil look fabulous, well done!

Scott and Tanner, if you do a creation for the plate please post the outcome.

We would love to see it!
