Attractive, quarter plate tintype of Union soldier standing with one hand resting uncomfortably on his wide while the other hand is on the photographer's chair. The soldier wears a 9-button frockcoat belted with a 2-piece belt plate and holstered pistol tucked into the side. He also wears a pork pie hat. (Strong clarity and contrast, plate is skinny on sides but to no detriment, crazing to the plate.) Housed in thermoplastic hanging case with a corner chip. -- 4 1/4 x 6 in. hand-painted tintype bust portrait of a soldier, identified on paper affixed on verso and on separate tin fragment as "Ruckham." (Some light surface wear.) A fine folk art-painted portrait. -- 3 1/4 x 4 3/4 in. tintype of a young Indian Wars sergeant in dress uniform. He holds his rifle with gloved hands right next to his US belt plate. (Strong clarity and contrast, some light creasing to plate.)
