Antique Union Civil War Soldier Paper Tintypes 1st Regiment MICHIGAN BROTHERS

I found this certificate while doing an estate clean out! As you can tell it is a very fragile piece of paper and has some loss and tears as well as discoloration.

This is an Original Certificate of the enlistment of 2 brothers from Tekonsha, Michigan. I believe this is a rare item after spending hours trying to find one similar. The paper has 2 tintypes of the brothers attached, one is in poor condition and the other is in very nice condition. The names of the brothers are William O.

Holmes and his brother is Thomas Thos. They volunteered to join the 1st Regiment of Michigan as Sharpshooters.

In my research I discovered they were both in Company D, both survived the war but one was discharged with injuries. At the time of the enlistment the company has been left blank. This piece will come with the backing I found it with, which is wood and helps keep it stable. It measures 16" by 12". Please view the photos for condition.
