Circa 1865 Odd Antique Civil War Era Tintype Photograph; Full length portrait of two young men standing in a pose which suggests comradery. They wear Hardee hats with feather plumes, decorative embellished uniforms, and riding boots. The man on the left bears shoulder straps. My first thought is early war era southern Confederate Civil War Militia...a time when the patriotic rush to duty resulted in a mix of home sewn, uncoordinated uniforms associated with home grown militia units. Approximate size is 2-3/8" x 3-3/4" (an uncommon size most often found in the "cdv" size hinged cases popular with soldiers in the early war period).
Condition: light soiling and edge wear. slight bend to tin. Please see photos for additional condition review. Questions welcome!
