I bought an old photo album yesterday that contained several tintypes as well as many cabinet cards, etc. There was one photo of a uniformed soldier holding a sword, but I don't have the expertise to determine whether this is a Civil War period photo or not. Can anyone please help? Thanks so...
I posted a picture last week and all of your comments/knowledge is appreciated. This photo was found with the picture I previously posted. I am assuming that this was also taken in Traverse City, Michigan. Does anybody know the reason for the attire being worn by these people in the parade...
Does anybody know what uniform these men are wearing? I am quite sure the picture was taken in Traverse City, Michigan. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hoping you guys can help me out. Is there an online resource that lists all of the pieces and parts of the equipment and uniforms issued to soldiers during the Civil war with reference photos?
Or even a book with reference photos that could be used to identify relics that you find?
What do you...
Found another button, need help with identification. Roughly the size of a U.S. penny, no inscriptions to be found. The automobile on the front is the only mark to go off of. Found in Sicily, maybe an automobile club? Thanks in advance!!
Greetings, I found this button in Sicily. I can't seem to identify its origins, can anybody identify it? Or connect any of the symbols to foreign powers/entities? I believe it's WWII era. Thanks in advance!
