Original tintype photo showing a young man holding one hand up to his hear. The previous owner of this image believed that he looks lot like John Wesley Hardin, the famous American outlaw and gunfighter, and I have to say that I agree, but he is not identified.
Listing photo #2 shows a photo of Hardin at about the same age.. it's only provided here for comparison purposes and is not included.
He's holding his hand up to one ear.. maybe some sort of secret signal to a partner?
Tintype is 3.5" x 2.5" with nothing back. EXCELLENT antique condition.
