CWI 1. 6th Plate Ambrotype of Pvt. Marvel, 1st Delaware Vol. Cavalry Regt.
Originally purchased from his Grand-Daughter Francis Dickerson in 1990. She claimed that his name was “Marvel”. They both hailed from Milford Delaware. Image is very clear. Private Marvel is armed with his US M-1860 light cavalry saber and M-1860 Colt Army revolver. Don’t see many photos of Delaware soldiers. I haven’t done any research on this fine looking cavalryman, but will leave that to the buyer.
$995.00

CWI 4. 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.

CWI 6. Half Plate Ambrotype of a Federal Officer in “George Washington” Thermoplastic Case.
Large unidentified ambrotype in good condition. The case is very nice with sharp details. I have seen this case before but mostly on Confederate photos because it features the George Washington monument in Richmond VA.
