CIVIL WAR ERA TINTED TINTYPE DRUM RIFLE DOG CIGAR. One of the more interesting tintypes that I have owned. What looks like a rifle with a bayonet affixed may just be a pole, or a flag pole? The tinting makes it difficult to see much detail, the pole is graduated and that certainly appears to be a bayonet.
The drum and drumsticks are pretty clear. I wish I knew what the story is, i just don't and other than my speculation that they may be confederates I will leave it up to the buyers. They appear to be in a tent, you can see some ruffled fringe at the too.
The image makes me think of characters from a Cormac McCarthy novel. This measures about 3.5" x 2 3/8". This item is in the category "Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs".
