Description
Pair of sixth plate melainotype’s of two boys from the Buckeye state. The two young men are dressed identical, in sack coats and a forage cap with one of the boys wearing glasses! They appear to have visited the same studio as well, struck the same pose and are armed with the same weapons and accouterments. The small pocket pistol and side knife no doubt provided by the photographer. An OVM plate can be clearly seen on one of the men. The other is wearing an OVM plate as well, however much of it is covered by the gold gilt. Great view of that OVM buckle that we seldom see in these images. There is quite a bit of surface abrasions to both of these images. Housed in a double sided thermoplastic case.
