The chair is used as prop for this soldier standing wearing a military vest and frock coat. All of the buttons have been gilted. There are two
interesting, inlaid circles on the back of the chair. That means nothing other than the photographer used a fancy chair for this private who also
has a fancy, western style hat. There are a several swipes on this 1/6 plate tintype. There appears to be a plume or something on his hat. It is
dark, but it is too even for a swipe. The image comes in a full wood and paper case that is separated at the seam. #5695=$165.00
