One of a kind "Civil War" style tintype from the 1870s. The Civil War style Kepi on the seated gentleman reads "FOA" (Northern Army). The tintype measures 3.5x2.25". The men are pictured wearing spotted ties and lace uniforms. This is the first example we have seen as this was discovered in New England. Please note the lighthouse in the background.
