 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
OUTSTANDING TINTYPE OF AN IDENTIFIED UNION SOLDIER. SOLDIER IS IDENTIFIED BY A WRITTEN DOCUMENTION BY A FAMILY MEMBER AS NELSON FRANCE BORN IN RUBY, ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK AND KILLED AT THE BATTLE OF WILDERNESS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I BELIEVE MR. FRANCE WAS A PART OF THE 46TH REGIMENT, NEW YORK INFANTRY. ALONG WITH THE TINTYPE COMES HIS ORIGINAL LOCKET OF HAIR WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INSIDE PORTION OF THE CASE. ROUGH MEASUREMENTS OF THE TINTYPE ITSELF ARE 2 11/16 X 3 1/8". AS SHOWN IN MY PHOTO OF JUST THE TINTYPE ITSELF THERE IS AN OVAL MARKING LEFT FROM SITTING IN FRAME FOR SOME TIME. THE IMAGE OF TINTYPE IS FAIRLY CLEAN. LOOKING AT MR. FRANCE HE APPEARS TO BE VERY, VERY YOUNG. HE HAS HIS WEAPON BESTOWED BESIDE HIM AND IS WEARING HIS BELT WITH U.S. BUCKLE. NOT CERTAIN WHAT IS TO THE LEFT OF HIS BUCKLE. IT LOOKS LIKE A SCABBARD BUT I CANNOT TELL. ALSO IF YOU LOOK IN BETWEEN THE MUSKET AND HIS RIBCAGE AREA YOU SEE AN IMAGE NEAR HIS BACK. NOT CERTAIN WHAT THIS IS EITHER. THE GOLD FRAME PORTION IS NICELY DECORATED. THE TOP CORNERS HAVE THE AMERICAN FLAG, BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A SHIP AND BOTTOM RIGHT HAS A CANNON. AROUND THE OVAL EDGE PORTION SAYS CONSTITUTION AND UNION JULY 4, 1776. THE TOP AND BOTTOM PORTION OF THE CASE ARE SEPARATED FROM ONE ANOTHER. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, NEED ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OR HAVE ANY OTHER INFO THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. A WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY TO ADD TO ANY CIVIL WAR COLLECTION. BUYER TO PAY SHIPPING & INSURANCE.
