1908-1910 T.J. Hileman? Glass Plate Negative "Unknown Mine Cripple Creek" 03 8"x10" Rare!! 1908-1910 most likely by T.J. Hileman although unsigned, these were all with his other signed plates, A very rare and unique “One Of A Kind” historical mining photographic image by a prolific photographer in his early days. I am sure I do not need to explain how rare this item is and how lucky we are that this glass plate negative survived even in the condition it is in (multiple breaks,tape reinforced) . I do not know of any other original T.J. Hileman glass plate negatives existing from his time in Colorado 1904-1910 before he moved to Montana to work Glacier National Park. About 10 years ago we acquired a glass plate negative collection in Colorado Springs that included plate negatives from Alfred Freeman, T.J. Hileman and a few others. Most existing material like this is in Library’s or Museums, A unique opportunity and one that will not come around again.
