Antiques not only recapture the magic and nostalgia of the past, but also bear witness to the passage of time. Digging through the old travel trunks in your attic, or the scarred and weather-beaten 18th century dresser at your grandmother’s Victorian home, it is not uncommon to stumble across antique family photos. Washed in a tinny patina, these photos have the magical quality of sacred totems. They are hazy portals into a distant time, yet they can tell us as much about the present as the past. Can you see your own resemblance in the look on your great-great grandfather’s face? How has photographic technology changed over the years? The pivotal question remains: Do you restore these photos or leave them in their worn and faded glory? Only time will tell.

They were once very common for use by news wire services. Other devices might appear as well, and some antique collectors have taken an interest in older pieces of office equipment.
