Original tintype, young African American boy wearing a hat, affixed to a period mount
that features a raised patriotic / stars border around the image window.
The 4" x 2.5" mount has Potter's March 7, 1865 patent embossed along the left edge.
Tintype is in very good or better antique condition with light surface wear, mostly
visible under enlargement. No bends. The tintype must have come detached from the
mount at some point and has been nicely repaired with what looks like archival tape.
Shipping: Choice of First Class (flat photo mailer) or boxed Priority Mail.
