RARE 1/16 PLATE TINTYPE - CIVIL WAR LADY IN "YOUNG SOLDIER" THERMOPLASTIC CASE - This small 1/16th plate size case is one of the most highly sought after Union cases from the Civil War. The exterior has a design of soldier in uniform and holding an American flag. Inside this rare case still resides an image of a soldier's attractive sister, girlfriend or wife he most likely carried into battle with him. The cased tintype remains in amazing antique condition and would make an excellent addition to any advanced Civil War collection. Here is a rare opportunity to all my clientele to win this fine example.

CONDITION : Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The tintype has beautiful contrast, tonal range and superb sharpness.

Subtle hand tinting was applied to the young lady's face. The thermoplastic case is in very good antique condition with only minor wear to the edges and the exterior surfaces.

The hinges remain strong, the working clasp and a nice velvet pillow adjacent to the tintype portrait.
