Original 1862 Tintype Civil War Named Soldier 21st Maine Volunteer. Here is an Original 1862 Tintype Civil War Named Soldier 21st Maine Volunteer. This amazing is cased in a beautiful gutta percha frame for hanging on the wall.

The frame is 3 1/4 by 3 3/4. The tintype is 1 1/2 by 2 visible oval shaped.

I didnt try to clean it so some dust and marks on the glass are showing up clearly in my photo. The soldiers name is Pvt.

Ansel Hermon Stevens from So. INCLUDED with the tintype is Stevens bible that was given to him by the New York Bible Society in 1862. The writing that is clear in the bible is not Ansels writing. It was a descendents copy of what is written just above it.

You can see that writing faintly. ALSO included is a 7 3/4 by 2 note from R. Harlow, surgeon of the 24th Maine Volunteer Regiment, discharging Stevens and recommending exempt from duty for 10 days. The descendant stated to me that Stevens died in late December from Typhoid Fever. I have not been able to confirm that.

The image is very nice. Held in the right light you can see lots of detail. The gutta percha frame is beautiful with just a few very small flea bites at the edges. The bible is rough and is missing the spine covering. The note has faded slightly. Please look closely at the pictures for condition. A wonderful addition to your collection.
