Thats not a Cabinet but a CDV. CDV's are older than Cabinet Cards.
I think, 1860'/70's would be about right for a CDV. I'm no expert but haven't seen any cdv's from the 1890's. Not saying they don't exist, just can't recall seeing one. Maybe Barry will weigh in on this.

I can't recall seeing any CdV's from the 1890's either, they pretty much were gone before 1880. This photo does look properly identified as Murnane, but I can't tell the size. I remember it being offered a while ago and if Phil says it's a CdV, then that's what it is. The image is beautiful.

Good grief, guys - that is not Murnane. By now we should all know that an old SCG ID stamp is pretty meaningless (they are much more careful now). So you have a guy in a suit that is holding some kind of a cap. All he shares with Murnane is curly hair.
Murnane had a distinctly turned up nose - this guy does not. Murnane had a short distance from upper lip to nose (short philtrum) - this guy's is much longer. Really not even close. (and yeah - the ears are different) Packs - don't bid on it. This is good - I needed an item for the next "auction watch" segment of my newsletter. ----Murnane ---------------------not Murnane Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-25-2010 at 07:45 PM.

Mark- the CdV and the 1874 cabinet look like dead ringers to me. I'll have to look at them again.

Barry - stop looking at the faces as a whole (to me they don't look alike - but that is not the point). Just look at the distance from the upper lip to the bottom of the nose.
Also note that the real Murnane has a turned up nose (that is also evident in other images of him), very unlike the guy in the suit. The ears are also different - but I appreciate that given the quality of the images I posted - it may be hard to see. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-25-2010 at 07:46 PM.

I agree it helps to see them side by side. I don't feel as good about them now.

I was making no comment on the ID of the person in the photo...the CDV is clearly from the 1870s time period.
