    Description

    US Civil War 1/9 Plate Ambrotype Young Soldier Posing. I'm not sure if he is a soldier or a kid dressed up as Union soldier. I know they often did that and he looks pretty young. I didn't have any notes on this one, but I'm pretty sure it is an ambrotype from the "haze" around the outside of the picture and it's not magnetic. So please use your judgement because you probably are more knowledgeable on these than I am (without my dad's notes). The thermoplastic case does have some wear and chipping.
    These are from my dad's collection, so while I'm knowledgeable on some items, others not so much if I don't have the original auction page. If you see a mistake let me know an I'll update the information.
    I will combine shipping on images, just message me before you pay so I can send you and updated invoice.
