cased, 1/9th plate "ruby ambrotype" of Jacob

couple of different candidates for which unit
Jacob was in, but a little research will
likely unravel it. It is a nice, clear
image in an excellent condition thermoplastic
case by "S. Peck & Co. Union Cases".
This will make an excellent addition to
someone's Civil War display.--$225.

of a super-nice case, here it is.--$150.
-
Nice
condition, fully cased, 1/6th plate image of a
Federal Enlistedman. The interesting
thing about this image is that the soldier has
an Infantry cross-belt and buckle belt rig but
is holding a Model 1860 light Cavalry saber by

optimum.--$350.

Federal soldier. He is wearing a
9-button Enlistedman's frock coat, his kepi,
and US belt rig with breast plate and buckle
both visible. He has his musket standing
at his side. The image, unfortunately,
has been exposed to light and is now quite
faded. There is writing in the back
behind the image which may be the soldier's
ID, but we cannot make it out. Here is a

soldier is seated with his .69 cal., Model
1842 musket across his chest and is wearing a
US belt rig with the cross belt and breast
plate visible. The image has nice
clarity, but unfortunately, has a scratch that
runs right between his eyes. The case is
a beautiful Patriotic case with a spread-wing
Eagle over an American Flag and the motto
"Union Forever". The case is in
excellent condition except for one piece of
the rim broken out about one inch long.
I have someone that can restore this break
perfectly if so desired.--$295. (This
would be a $650 image and case if it were not
for the scratch and small piece broken.)

of an Ohio estate and the young man has his
"US" waist belt rig complete with US buckle,

estate, and went through a house fire which
literally began to melt the case, but the
image itself remains in good condition but is
a little bit darker than optimum. This
is a nice image, and the soldier is fully
equipped, and ready to go to the front.--$195.
-
Nice
clear 1/6th plate tintype of a gentleman out
of a North Georgia estate that - according to
family lore was a Confederate officer.

the $1,000. Confederate image yet - here is a
nice honest Southern image to "fill the spot"
until then !!!--$175.SOLD

of age. The older girl is wearing a
necklace with gold broach and is holding roses.
The younger girl is holding roses as well, and

- January 8, 1827 - September 27, 1871 - Killed

Clanton it is in the records as there are about
three that served. I have no doubt that
with some diligent research this mystery can be
solved and likely with additional
information.--$48.SOLD
