1. Fully cased 1/9th plate tintype of a seated Federal Cavalryman with a .44 cal. Remington Army Revolver across his chest.  The image is cased in an attractive quite ornate black gutta-percha case.  The image is flaking some in the area above and to the left of the subject, but it does not affect the subject at all.--$295.
2. Excellent condition empty 1/9th plate size Gutta Percha Case marked, "S. Peck's Patent. -1854 - Genuine Union Case".  If you have a super nice 1/9th plate image, here is a fine little case to put it in.--$75.
3. Nice clear fully cased 1/6th plate tintype of a very young North Carolina Rebel private.  He is no more than 16 years old and wearing an extremely cool Confederate "Battle Shirt".  A great little "C.S." image that would be a nice addition to any collection.--$350.
4. Nice condition fully cased 1/6th plate tintype of a standing Federal infantryman.  He is wearing a nine button Federal enlistedman's frock coat with U.S. waist belt - over the shoulder sling - cartridge box - both plates - Springfield musket with bayonet at his side - and Colt pistol stuck behind his belt.  This image would be a nice little addition to any collection.--$395.
5. Nice clear 1/6th plate tintype - in a very rare and ornate "gutta percha" hard case - of a standing Federal infantry enlistedman.  He is wearing a 9-button enlistedman's frock coat and has his hand resting on an American flag.  My guess is that this is an early war photo as he still looks quite healthy and well fed.--$250.
6. Nice clear C.D.V. of a Union Veteran wearing his G.A.R. ribbons and medals.  The image is backmarked "John Bull - Peterborough" which is Peterborough, N.H. I believe.--$45.
7. Quite rare CDV picturing 14 individuals that were the leadership of the Confederacy and are labeled the, "Confederate Head."  Some of the individuals pictured are Jeb Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, Earl Van Dorn, NB Forrest, Leonidus Polk, and others.--$195.
8. Very nice 1/6th plate fully cased full standing view of a Union Cavalryman.  He is well equipted with his Colt revolver on one side and his cavalry saber presented on the other.  The image has good clarity, but does have a few small scratches here and there, but they don't affect the image subject.  The case itself is a beautiful brown patriotic gutta percha with a large shield filled with stars on both front and back.  This is a really nice image.--$450.
9. Very nice content cabinet card of a fully equipted Ill. Infantry soldier.  The image has a "Woldridge and King - Petersburg, ILL." Photographer's mark.--$75.
10. Scarce C.D.V. of Confederate Gen. James Longstreet - published by "Joseph Ward - Boston".--$175.
11. Civil War outdoor albumin photograph showing a camp scene with a number of visible soldiers, tents, weapons, and even uncleaned fish no-doubt for supper that night.  It remains in a very old frame.  The image has faded and is somewhat light, but everything is still visible - even the fish !!!--$350.
12. Talk about a rare little C.D.V. !!!  This is a photograph of the Elmira Confederate prison at Elmira, NY.  You can see hundreds of tents and Confederate prisoners.  The image has a WONDERFUL backmark - "Moulton and Larkin -- Elmira, N.Y."  When was the last time that you saw one of these offered ??--$275.

16. 1/6th plate fully cased tintype of two Federal soldiers.  Both soldiers are seated with frock coats open.--$135.
17. Extremely rare OUTDOOR tintype of a mounted Civil War trooper.  I wish that I could see clear evidence that this was a Reb cavalryman, but all that I can actually make out is that he is a soldier.  Study under a powerful glass might reveal something REALLY cool, but I can't see it.  Any way you slice it --- An outdoor mounted image is VERY rare to come by.--$295.
18. This is a fully cased 1/6th plate tintype that just makes you say "WOW" !!  The image itself is a good clear, full standing view of a Federal infantry soldier with his belt rig - cross belt - Springfield musket at his side - and a single shot boot pistol stuck behind his belt.  The brass matt around the picture is full patriotic and the the gutta percha case has a beautiful "flags and crossed cannons" patriotic scene.  This is going to look really fine in someone's glass display cabinet.--$475.
19. Nice clear fully cased 1/6th plate tintype of an early war young Union Private.  If you have no actual "from life" Civil War images in your collection - This would be a pretty one to start with.--$135.

23. Fully cased 1/6th plate tintype of a standing Federal Cavalry Trooper.  He is wearing his kepi,  his Model 1851 sword belt rig,  and has his cavalry saber standing right in front of him.  Nothing really fancy about this guy - Just your typical Federal Cavalry Trooper ready to mount up.--$275.

Large 1/4th plate fully cased image of a "State Of New York" Infantry soldier.  This is a full standing pose tintype with his Springfield musket at his side and wearing a large size "SNY" {State Of New York} waist belt plate with his cap box visible as well.  The image is cased in a rare large size Gutta Percha case that is in good condition but does have a chip off one corner.  It's been ages since I've had a tintype of a soldier wearing an S.N.Y. waist belt plate.--$475.
26. Nicely cased 1/6th plate tintype of a Federal Cavalryman with his cavalry saber across his chest and his Model 1851 sword belt rig clearly visible and now the really cool part.  How often do you see a nice armed image and an original matching C.D.V. of the same soldier to go with it.  It has been at least 10 years since I've had a nice tin and matching C.D.V.--$450. {for both}

War soldiers.  There are a variety of different backmarks including a rare San Francisco, Cal. one.--$175. for the entire collection - That's less than $30. per image.
31. Beautiful and tough to come by 1973 print of General Nathan Bedford Forrest that was done by the Sons of Confederate Veterans over 30 years ago.  The print is BIG measuring 24 inches by 30 inches before framing and is absolutely breathtaking once it's matted and framed.  I seldom get these in anymore.--$89.

32. 1/6th plate ambrotype of a young Union soldier seated with who I would guess to be his younger brother from his look and his age.  Both are seated, and the soldier is wearing a frock coat and his kepi.  The photo has nice clarity but is not in a case.--$115.

Nice clear large 1/4th plate tintype of a standing Union infantry soldier.  He is wearing an enlistedman's 9-button frock coat and is holding what appears to be a Bible in his hand.  The photo has nice contrast, clarity, and has virtually no flaking at all.  It is gilt matted but not cased.--$250.
