Antique Daguerreotype Civil War Soldier Gutta Percha Thermoplastic Union Cas

The 1/9 plate (2" x 2.5") daguerreotype shows a young Civil War soldier with a penetrating stare beneath his kepi hat. His solemn image is framed with an embossed and gilded oval mat (with some loss to the gilding) behind glass and bordered with an ornate edge of gilt metal. This is fitted well into the embossed velvet lined, thermoplastic case. The exterior of the 8-sided case has a high relief decoration on both sides with an inset medallion that appears to be gilded metal.

The hinges are brass and are without any corrosion or damage. All of this is in very good condition. The image is only slightly deteriorated from age and the finely made case shows no damage at all.
