Very cool. Any experts on civil war dress? Those trousers he's wearing really look like they could be a uniform bottom. Crazy to think this guy could have fought at Gettysburg.

That's an extraordinary image, beautifully posed with bat and ball, crystal clear, great uniform, and looks like it was lightly handcolored. The dating seems right, likely late 1860's. That's a home run as tintypes go, worth the 1K+ bid.

Barry, you are correct citing the coloring. That's where a lot of the value lies... independent of the subject matter, of course.

Related only that it's a 19th century photo, this was a stunning cabinet that fetched a nice price too. Really love this photo.

The CdV I've posted shares many similar characteristics with this tintype. The subject is one Lon Kinch. He died in early 1866. It's possible the tintype is mid 1860s.
