Here is a nice TINTYPE IN CASE showing an INDIAN MAN in a STUDIO SHOT----this is part of a 2 TINTYPE SET that I am listing separately showing the SAME INDIAN MAN---the other he is posing with another Indian man.      There is a cut-down part of a CIVIL WAR ENVELOPE/paper with FOR THE UNION on the top.  Written on it is LEVI COLEMAN  REC'D OCT. 19 1861 and BATTLE CREEK MICH. on the back.       I am not sure if the man is LEVI COLEMAN or not.    Inside the case is a BUSINESS CARD with H.P. BUNKER'S 25 CENT AMBROTYPE AND PHOTOTYPE GALLERY OVER KELLOGG'S BANK 3D FLOOR, BATTLE CREEK MICH. on the front.    It has tintype residue on the back.   The card measures 3" by 1 1/4".        The Indian Man/Mr. Colemen is most likely POTAWATOMI but could be CHIPPEWA/OJIBWE or OTTAWA as well.      The photo measures 3 1/4" by 2 3/4" inside glass metal case---3 1/2" by 6 1/2" inside outer case opened.      The back of the tintype has a more modern sticker reading MOHAWK MEN  CZA  INDIAN.           An online search found this information in the Directory of Early Michigan Photographers:
