Does it say P. J. Reese on it?

I think that's John Holmes.

Hey norm,

I'm with creskol on the "J. Reese" part, not sure if it's "For J. Reese," or "P. J. Reese."

Next line, "Lovingly..."

I'm all garbled on the signature...

What is the exact size of the tintype, not in feet?

I think it has a striking resemblance to Sam Bass......
