1. Quite rare CDV of Confederate General Robert E. Lee with a San Francisco, California, backmark.  This image is backmarked, "Wise & Prindle Photographers, No. 417 Montgomery Street - San Francisco".  You just don't see many images coming out of California during this era.--$350.

2. Group of three Civil War era images from the "Juda Family" of central ILL.  One of the images is a C.D.V. of John Juda, who was a member of Co. "C" - 45 Ill. Inf.  The 45 Ill. was one heck of a unit, and was at Fort Henry - Fort Donelson, Shiloh - Corinth - Port Hudson - Raymond - Champion's Hill - Big Black - Vicksburg - Meridan - Kennesaw - Atlanta - Jonesboro, - and Bentonville.  A nice little grouping for CHEAP !!!--$95. for all

3. Very nice group of four CDV's and one tintype from the "Joy" family of Central Virginia.  One of the CDV's is labeled, "C. Joy, Army of Northern Virginia - 1865".  This image was taken by "Clinedinst & Seaford of Staunton, Virginia".  We are unsure exactly who this soldier is, but feel with some research, can be established.  For all five images--$125.

4. Civil War Era, leather bound CDV photo album.  This album will hold 38 CDV's.  It remains in good, complete condition, but the leather is separating some across the leather back strap.  The interior remains in nice condition, and both brass clasps remain intact.  This would be excellent to hold and display your Civil War CDV's in.--$79.

5. Nice condition,"from life" bust view of "J. M. Baruard"??  This image was taken by Case & Getchell, Boston, Massachusetts.  Most of the images in the album where this one came were members of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry. We were not able to locate him, but we were unsure of the correct spelling of his name.  If anyone can locate him, please send me what Company and Regiment.--$75.

6. Bust view CDV of Jackson Kilpatrick.  The image is backmarked, "S. H. Colesworthy - 92 Exchange St. Portland ME".  We believe Jackson to have been in the 28th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry.--$95.

7. Nice clear "from life" CDV of Lt. J. H. Lathrop of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry.  This photo was taken by "Mrs. Stuart - 258 Washington Street - Boston".  I don't think I have ever seen a Civil War Era CDV with the marking "Hair Jewelry made to order".--$125.

8. Bust view C.D.V. of Federal General Philip Sheridan.  The image is backmarked "Joseph Ward - 125 Washington St. - Boston"--$95.

9. Quite rare, "from life" CDV of a young Federal Artilleryman with the Army of the Cumberland.  This image was taken at " T. M. Schuleier" at Nashville, Tennessee.  He is wearing a red trimmed Artillery shell jacket, and his crossed cannons hat pin can be barely seen on the top of his kepi.  It was likely taken during the Franklin/Nashville campaign in 1864.  It is interesting to note that on the back of the image that the photographer would also take "camp" images.--$125.SOLD*

12. Full standing view of Lt. C. C. Vance, Co. C, 9th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.  It appears this Federal Cavalry unit spent a good deal of time in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.  Later in the war, the 9th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry participated with General Sherman in the "March to the Sea" and was with the Federal Army for the surrender in Greensboro, North Carolina.--$175.

13. Nice, clear, full-standing pose of Col. Charles Griswold of the 56th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.  Col.

15. Quite rare "gem size" tintype of Homer E. Stone of Co. B, 4th Massachusetts Cavalry.  He enlisted 1-27-1864 and was fatally wounded at Broadway Landing, Virginia, on July 24, 1864.  The poor guy was only in service a few months.--$125.

17. 1/6th plate tintype of a seated Federal soldier.  He is wearing a 4-button sack coat and a Patriotic scene can be seen behind him.  This image was purchased years ago from a Central Ohio estate sale, so it is very likely that he is an Ohio Volunteer Infantry soldier.  The image remains clear, but is slightly darker than perfect.--$150.

18. Quite rare bust view CDV image of Confederate General Sterling Price.  General Price served with distinction in numerous Trans-Mississippi Battles.  This image has a crisp "Anthony of New York" backmark.--$275.

19. Very nice cased pair of Civil War 1/9th plate images.  One image is an ambrotype of a young, Federal Infantry soldier wearing 9-button, Federal Enlistedman's frock coat.  The second image is an older gentleman that we think to likely be his father.  The images were purchased years ago from a Central Ohio estate sale.  Case and both images--$250.

20. Drop-dead beautiful condition, 1/9th plate, molded thermoplastic image case.  This case has the very ornate outer cover with the Eagle perched atop of the Constitution and surrounded by stars with the American Shield above.  It is dated 1857 and is maker marked, "Littlefield, Parsons, & Co. - Manufacturers of Daguerreotype Cases".  This will be perfect if you have a super nice 1/9th plate image needing a case.--$195.

21. Very rare, nice clear, 1/9th plate, fully cased tintype of Confederate Cavalryman, J. C. Gibson, of the 8th Confederate Cavalry Regiment.  He is wearing a Richmond Depot style butternut jacket with shoulder tabs and single breast pocket.  The 8th Confederate Cavalry was very active in the Western Theater of the Civil War.  They were camped here in Middle Tennessee near Middleton, Tennessee, when their camp was raided by Wilson's Federal Cavalry in March of 1863.  I was fortunate to recover an excellent, solid cast, Army of Tennessee, CS round corner buckle from this camp and also a nice egg-shaped CS oval.  This is a very nice little Rebel image.  A Regimental History of the 8th Confederate Cavalry is included with the image, and J.C. Gibson is listed on page 162.--$695.SOLD

22. Extremely rare, large 1/4th plate, fully cased, outdoor multi-subject ambrotype.  In this image, you can see eight adults, one horse and bridle, and two children.  Two of the adults appear to have on military coats, and four of the adults have on tall, "stove pipe" hats.  There are buildings and a fence in the background.  This is a very cool image considering the number of subjects being outside and containing a horse in harness.--$550.

23. Quite rare, 1/6th plate, fully cased tintype of a New York Zouave wearing his red cap with tassel.  He is also wearing a 4-button Union sack coat.  The image is cased in a scarce, molded thermoplastic "S. Peck & Co." improved "Union" case with an intricate military motif.  The image is somewhat dark but you can clearly see the subject.  The case is in very nice condition except does have one piece approximately 1 1/2 inch missing along one edge.  I do have a contact for restoring this break if wanted.  This is both an image and a case that you rarely see.--$395.

24. Nice clear 1/6th plate fully cased tintype of a Federal soldier wearing his kepi and also his Federal enlistedman's 9-button frock coat.  The image is cased in a Patented "Union" red-brown Thermoplastic case.--$350.

31. Fully cased, 1/6th plate tintype of a Union Corporal.  He is wearing an enlisted man's blue frock coat with his two Corporal Stripes visible.  This is a seated pose wearing his kepi, and his Smith and Wesson .22 cal. revolver is visible in his vest pocket.  The clear glass outside cover has an old crack across it.  It would be a very simple matter to replace the piece of glass.--$275.

32. Absolutely beautiful 1/6th plate tintype of two seated Federal soldiers, both wearing Infantry frock coats and regulation blue trousers.  One of the men has his kepi resting in his lap.  This image remains crystal clear and is housed in an extremely ornate patriotic black gutta percha case.  The case has an Eagle in the center with wings outspread by an American Flag and also a shield and a cannon with cannon balls.  This style patriotic case is very rare to find.--$395.

34. Beautiful, crisp, clear, fully cased 1/6th plate tintype of a standing Federal infantryman with everything needed to march off to battle.  This is a full standing view wearing an enlistedman's frock coat, his 3-band musket with bayonet at his side, his full belt rig, and cross belt with breastplate, and has his kepi on.  This image is first class !!--$425.

McConnell, there is additionally a fully cased 1/9th plate ambrotype of Lt. McConnell in civilian clothing.  In addition to these pictures is a half-cased ambrotype of Lt. McConnell in civilian clothing with his wife.  Also, there is a 1/6th plate ambrotype of Lt. McConnell's mother in a half-case.  In addition, there is a 1/9th plate ambrotype of a baby which we assume to be his child.  The 99th Ohio served all through Tennessee being at Stones River, Chickamauga, the drive toward Atlanta, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville.  I purchased this group directly out of the family just days ago.--$495. for the entire five photograph estate.

37. Tiny folding silver "book" that has two gem size images inside.  I believe both images to be of Civil War Generals, and although they have a familiar look, I cannot place their name.  A little help would sure be appreciated.  The small case itself appears to be solid silver.--$195.

38. 1/6th Plate tintype of seated Union Infantryman.  He is wearing a 9-button Federal enlistedman's frock coat...coat is open showing his military vest beneath ...this photo is in nice condition and quite clear -it is unfortunately a little bit dark however. $125.

48. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, matted and framed portrait of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest.  This framed print overall measures 30 inches by 36 inches and is framed using acid-free matting and light filtering glass.  The framing job alone on this print costs almost $400.  Here is a super deal, BUT, you will need to pick it up here, because it is some-kinda big.  The print itself was published in 1973 by the SCV.--$350.

49. Very nice condition, 6 1/2 inch by 4 1/4 inch albumin photograph of James H. Clanton taken by Moyston of Memphis, Tennessee.  On the reverse of the photograph, in very old period writing is, "James H. (Holt) Clanton - Lawyer - CSA Soldier - January 8, 1827 - September 27, 1871 - Killed in a gun fight on the street of the Lamar House Hotel - Knoxville, Tennessee, by a Yankee - A. Clanton."  We are unsure which James H. 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

54. Nice, clear CDV of Federal General William Rosecrans.  This image is particularly relevant here at Stones River in that General Rosecrans commanded the Federal forces here at the Battles of Stones River.  His CDV is one that you do not encounter as often as many of the others.--$95.

55. Nice bust shot image of a Federal Officer (likely from Kentucky) taken at "J. C. Elrod's Gallery - 409 Main Street - Louisville, KY."  This is a Kentucky photographer that you rarely see.--$85.

60. Pair of Civil War Era Victorian Age ladies in classic 1850 - 1860 "off-shoulder" gowns.  I believe that these two ladies are likely sisters in that they have similar facial traits.  Both gowns are exquisite.  One of the images is backmarked, "J.W. Molton - Artist - 214 Essex St. - Salem, Mass".  The other is backmarked, "C. Seaver, Jr. - Photographer - 27 Tremont Rd. - Boston".--BOTH IMAGES--$48.

Group of four Civil War/Victorian Era ladies.  Three of the four pictures are ambrotypes, two of which are ruby.  There is one tintype.  These images go from a young five-year-old girl to a 30-ish lady, and then to two elderly ladies.  I find the style of their clothing very interesting.  All four images--$125.

63. Rare stereo card of a "Rice - Raft" with black plantation hands floating rice straw down the creek headed for Charleston.  Rice and rice straw was one of South Carolina's most valuable productions during the Civil War Era.  For over 200 years, there have been prolific rice fields all along the low land reaches of South Carolina.--$95.

70. 1/6th plate tintype of a fully equipped, Federal Infantry Enlistedman.  This is a standing view wearing a 9-button frock coat with US beltrig and cartridge box at his side.  His musket with bayonet stands in front of him.  The photograph is taken in front of a patriotic backdrop with tents, canons, and flags.  The photograph is housed in a 1/2 hard case and remains in good stable condition with no flaking at all.  The only negative is the image is unfortunately darker than what would be ideal.  Even though dark, the image has great content and would be a nice addition to a collection.--$175.

71. Quite rare "From Life" Anthony CDV of Confederate General Sterling Price.  The image is a bit faded and has been trimmed to fit a 1/6th plate hard case.  It may not be in perfect condition, but it is definitely one that is hard to come by.--$150.
