This amazing little piece of history is just over 5" x 4" including the frame. It was hard to get photos of this piece due to glare...

The actual piece is much nicer than the photos depict. We took the backing off... The tintype is taped to the inside.

The actual tintype is about 3.5" x 2.5" and is oval. This piece was owned by a private collector who stored it in a cabinet for thirty-five years in a smoke free, pet free home. It depicts an Union older soldier next to a young Union soldier boy.

In the background (on the right) there is a tent. The expression on the boy's face is stoic... It comes in what appears to be an original frame. The bottom center of frame has a chunk missing...

The bottom left reads, Vulcanized Patented... " and the right edge read, " Jan. So we believe these two soldiers to be from Massachusetts... Unfortunately the first half of the town is missing. One cannot help but feel sad for this little boy...

Perhaps the man next to him was a relative looking out for him? The item "Antique Tintype Photograph of Union Civil War Soldiers Man & Boy Massachusetts" is in sale since Wednesday, August 17, 2016.
