<B>Full Plate Hand-tinted Tintype of Civil War Soldier,</B></I> 6.25" x 8.25" oval image, framed. This is a very interesting image. The soldier is wearing a jacket and vest.

On his breast he is wearing a metal star, that could be the badge of the Union XX Corps or a Confederate unit's specialized insignia. The image has a mat with "Churchill, 12 Wall St. Kingston" printed at the bottom.
