UNBELIEVABLY RARE CIVIL WAR
TIN TYPE MINIATURE PHOTO ALBUM
With Civil War Generals
Here is an extremely RARE and MOST DESIRABLE Civil War Tin Type photo
album from about 1860. It
includes several miniature tin types each about the size of a one cent
piece (about 28 in all) including Civil War Generals such as GEN.
ULYSSES S. GRANT, GEN. HORACE PORTER and GEN. KILPATRICK.
Also, the names and death status has been written
below many of the tin types. All of these RARE tin types are bound in
the ORIGINAL Leather Tin Type Album as issued by Salom's Bazaar Boston,
around 1860. See photos including a flyer for Salom's.
We
cannot say enough about this INCREDIBLY Rare Civil War piece.
We cannot place a value on it because we have never seen one
before and could not locate one like it. That has ever sold in the past.
A major auction house
is very interested in this museum quality piece, however, we will try
once here first.
Size
is 3"x 2".

images say it all!
