Lot of 9. Four tintypes, three ambrotypes and two ruby ambrotypes. Two images have tinted buttons, and two have tinted cheeks. One of the images with gilt buttons also has an American flag drawn in the upper right corner. It also has "117" and possibly the infantry device in gilt on the kepi. All are in full cases, most with issues to spines. Most also have very elaborate mats. One of the ambros with cheek tinting has a young man holding his rifle with bayonet (but it is too dark in that part of the image to identify the weapon). One of the privates in a ruby ambro has crossed arms, looking a bit bored with the process. A wonderful variety of young to middle-aged men who served their nation. Condition: Most of the spines of cases with damage. A couple images with mat "haloes."
