Traditionally the 10th anniversary is the “tin anniversary” and in the 19th century, invitations to anniversary celebrations might actually be printed on metal. These tin invitations are for 10th anniversary “at-homes” for Mr. & Mrs. R. H. Gratz on January 15, 1861 and Mr. & Mrs. H. A. Stiles on January 24, 1871.
