- Lot Description
Lot of 2. Sixth plate tintype featuring two seated Pennsylvania Bucktail soldiers wearing forage caps with deer tails. The soldier at left displays a Smith and Wesson 2nd Model Army Issue revolver and has a Bacon percussion revolver tucked into his belt. The soldier at right wears gloves, and has both a Bowie knife and percussion Colt revolver tucked into his belt. Buttons and belt buckle highlighted in gold, with bottom corner of an American flag visible in the backdrop at upper left. Housed in full leatherette case, fully separated at spine. Soldier pictured on left bears resemblance to Private Daniel L. Hanhouse, of Company H, 149th Pennsylvania Bucktails, who was mortally wounded in the head and shoulder at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863.
Quarter plate tintype of full standing Union private wearing a uniform with brass shoulder scales and a kepi with the letter "K" on it. Soldier is holding his rifle musket and bayonet to one side, and has both a Bowie knife with antler handle and percussion Colt revolver tucked into his belt. Housed in full Union case, Crossed Cannons and the Liberty Cap (See Krainik-25). The letter "K" could refer to the Company K, 150th Pennsylvania Bucktails, which was detached and served as President Lincoln's bodyguard. The soldier's brass shoulder scales follow the regulations for soldiers of that company.
Sixth plate tintype with a few small abrasions at edges, and some discoloration near edges. Case fully separated at spine, with wear to spine, edges, and corners.
