Nice Dug Quarter-Plate Tintype Frame/Mat
Nice Dug Quarter-Plate Tintype Frame/Mat

Here is a Wonderful Excavated Brass Tintype Frame !
It's for the big Quarter plate size image, and much less common to
dig than a Ninth or Sixth plate frame. Frame has a nice dark green
patina overall, with gilt highlites still visible down in the engraved
oval border. Measures approximately 4.25 inches tall by 3.25
inches wide. A Nice Personal Item Dug in a US Camp,
near Rhea's Mills, Arkansas.

Officer's or Paymaster's Small Brass Padlock
Officer's or Paymaster's Small Brass Padlock

Here is a Really Neat Little Brass Padlock Dug in a Union
Camp !  This little beauty measures just 1.675 inches tall, by 1.25
inches wide. Entire body is a brass/copper though the neck that
locks, appears to be iron. It is in the locked position, and the key
was not recovered so it will probably be locked forever. However,
the little door still slides freely to either side to allow for the key
to enter. This lock was more than likely on an officer's small
military or personal trunk, or perhaps even a small paymaster's
trunk. Neat Little Brass Padlock Lost in a Federal Army
Camp !  Recovered Rhea's Mills, Arkansas.
