CWI 1. Fine 6th Plate Ambrotype of Private John Adams Jr. Co. B, 16th South Carolina Vol. Infantry CSA.
These two ambrotypes came directly from the family who verbally attributed them to their ancestor Pvt. John Adams Jr. The Quarter Plate features Adams on the left in civilian garb with his brother or a friend. The 6th Plate shows Adams in Confederate uniform with a Palmetto insignia on his kepi. He is also brandishing what appears to be a Whitney, or a Spiller and Burr Confederate Navy Revolver. Adams enlisted on April 1st, 1862. More research can be done by the buyer. Image is very clear and comes in its original leatherette case. The 16th South Carolina (Also known as “The Greeneville Regiment”) saw most of its service in the Army of Tennessee, participating in the Atlanta Campaign and the savage batttles of Franklin and Nashville TN. They surrendered in Greensboro NC. under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Both ambrotypes included.

CWI 2. Quarter Plate Ambrotype of an Armed Confederate Infantryman.
Very clear and large size photo in its original leatherette case. This dapper looking soldier may be a Mississippian as his uniform has some parallels with identified Mississippi images. He certainly has character with the hat and bow tie. Standing at attention with a M-1816 Military Musket. A very fine Confederate photograph.

CWI 3. Published 6th Plate Ambrotype of a Tennessee Confederate Soldier.
This fine looking Confederate photo is published on page 15 of the March/April 2009 issue of Military Images Magazine where they state that this unidentified soldier is from Tennessee. I suppose this conclusion may have been deduced from other identified Tennessee Confederates wearing this same uniform. Note US 1821 pattern spread-winged eagle device on his kepi. Copy of magazine included.

CWI 5. Cased 6th Plate Tintype of a Massachusetts Militia Soldier.
Really clear image. There is a note inside the case saying that his name was “John S. Potter”. He is decked out in very fine style with a shako hat, eppaulets, buff leather accoutrement belt and cross belt, Infantry horn breastplate and Massachusetts State seal coat buttons. Thermoplastic case is separated at the hinges. It may be worthwhile for someone to research this soldier.
