CWI 1. Clear Half Plate Cased Tintype of a Standing Missouri Confederate.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This fine, large photograph was taken very early in the war in St. Louis MO. An unidentified Confederate Volunteer is shown in a full standing pose. It is quite likely that he was a member of Col. John S. Bowen\u2019s 1st Missouri Vol. Infantry Regt. There is a \u201cMANSFIELD\u2019S City Gallery, 4th St., Opposite Entrance Planter\u2019s House. St. Louis.<\/strong>\u201d label on the reverse. This studio did very good work. Note blue color tinting of the soldier\u2019s trousers and the red piping on his gray shell jacket. The gold painting on the buttons and the Confederate \u201cWishbone\u201d belt buckle is pinpoint precise. There is a M-1855 Springfield or Harper\u2019s Ferry Rifle Musket standing against a studio chair with bayonet fixed. The image is so clear that you can see the eagle on the lock. The soldier\u2019s forage cap rests upon the ramrod tip. There are a few very tiny blemishes on the surface, but they do not obscure the photo. Housed in a nice leatherette case. Half Plate Confederate Images are very scarce indeed.  <\/p>\n

CWI 2. Fine 6th Plate Ambrotype of Private John Adams Jr. Co. B, 16th South Carolina Vol. Infantry CSA.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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 \u201cThe Greeneville Regiment\u201d) 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.<\/p>\n

CWI 3. Quarter Plate Tintype of a Confederate Soldier Brandishing a Massive D-Guard Bowie Knife.<\/h2>\n

This image is published, but I cannot remember which book it is in, possibly William Turner\u2019s \u201cEven More Confederate Faces\u201d. The un-identified Confederate private featured here is seated with a Bacon Revolver in his belt and a Large D-Guard Knife in his hand. The tin scabbard is also visible. The leatherette case is original but has separated at the spine. The dark stripes on the shell jacket remind me of some known images of Mississippi volunteers.<\/p>\n

CWI 4. Sixth Plate Ambrotype of a Louisiana Artilleryman (Possibly Washington Artillery).<\/h2>\n

This handsome young man is shown seated with red trim on his kepi and on his belt. Notice rounded belt loops on his tongue and wreath buckle. It appears to be a Louisiana Pelican on the tongue disc but it is very blurry at high magnification. The rounded loop buckles were produced in New Orleans. There are three variants. One has a Pelican feeding its young (The Great Seal of Louisiana), another has \u201cCS\u201d, and then there is a raised five-pointed star (possibly for Texas or Missisippi). If anyone out there in the image world wants to contribute information on the uniform or possible identification, please chime in.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

CWI 5. 6th Plate Ambrotype of Mother and Child.<\/h2>\n

A very clear and touching image. A mother and child hoping daddy will come home from the war? Perfect reenacting prop. <\/p>\n

CWI<\/strong> 6. Cased 6th Plate Tintype of a Massachusetts Militia Soldier.<\/h2>\n

Really clear image. There is a note inside the case saying that his name was \u201cJohn S. Potter\u201d. 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. <\/p>\n

CWI 7. Sixth Plate Ambrotype of a Southern State Militia Officer.<\/h2>\n

Dashing young officer in full dress with epauletts, red sash, two-piece sword belt buckle, and Knight\u2019s Head sword. Once part of Pat Booth\u2019s noted collection of Confederate Civil War photography. Evidently he had some good reason to believe that this officer is a Southerner.<\/p>\n

CWI 8. 6th Plate Ambrotype of Pvt. Thomas H.B. Lang, Co. B, 16th Tenn. Vol. Infantry. CSA.<\/h2>\n

Here is your typical Tennessee Volunteer serving in CS Gen. Braxton Bragg\u2019s Army of Tennessee. Lang is wearing a homespun Confederate uniform and \u201cBeehive\u201d slouch hat. Note accoutrement belt with roller buckle, adorned with what appears to be an Eagle Breastplate. He is armed with a M-1842 Smoothbore Musket and a single-shot, top-hammer pistol at his side. Private Lang was from Franklin County TN. and  enlisted at Camp Harris (between Winchester and Tullahoma) in May of 1861. He was eventually promoted to Corporal. Unfortunately, Lang succumbed to disease on Jan. 11, 1863. He is buried near Winchester TN. Ambrotype is in very good condition and is housed in its original leatherette case. <\/p>\n

CWI 9. 6th Plate Ambrotype of an Armed Confederate Artilleryman.<\/h2>\n

Clear image of an unidentified Confederate soldier. I believe he is an artilleryman as he is brandishing a Colt Army Revolver and his uniform has a colored collar and cuffs (red for Artillery but could also be blue for Infantry). Note S. Issacs and Campbell \u201cSnake\u201d accoutrement belt. These were imported from England via Confederate blockade runners. Remarkable condition. Housed in its original thermoplastic case. <\/p>\n

CWI 10. Crystal Clear 6th Plate Tintype of a Double-Armed Southern Volunteer.<\/h2>\n

Here is a classic unidentified Rebel with character. Typical of known, early war Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee volunteers. They brought whatever they had at home to the photography studio. He is armed with a double-barreled shotgun and 1st Model Colt Navy Revolver (note square-back trigger guard). He has utilized a cavalryman\u2019s carbine sling as an accoutrement belt. His brass powder flask appears to have a US Eagle breastplate attached to it. Housed in its original plain leatherette case. <\/p>\n
