Early, high-quality tintype in tooled leather case measures 3-1/8 inches x 3-5/8 inches. The tintype is in mint condition. The ornate interior frame is in excellent condition. The leather exterior of the case has a few very small worn places along the edges and at the corners. The latch is original, intact and works perfectly. The case is in very good condition. The 1/9 plate image is a very clear picture of a soldier. We think it is an Indian Wars uniform.
