There are lots of them out there, and there are many, many more anonymous tintypes than there are identified. I just don't see it as an auction house type of item unless you consign it to one of the smaller venues like 19th Century Only or Brockelman Luckey. Even then I don't see it getting as much money as you would on ebay. And on ebay you can always place a reserve and test the water. Good luck with it whatever you choose...it's a great photo.
