Original early-1860s, sixth-plate tintype of a dog sleeping on a table. Gold painted collar.
Mat is stamped with the photographer's name, E.S. Dunshee - this was Edward S. Dunshee, whose studio was in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The case is complete but pretty beat up.. the tintype, however, is in very nice condition. Looks great in proper lighting .. listing pic #1 is a quick cell phone shot taken in daylight with no editing.
