Man with Mustache, Full Plate Folk Art Tintype Mounted to Wood with Shoestring Hanger sterling silver pendant it folds and flips overUnusual to find a hand painted full plate folk art tintype like this mounted to wood certainly done later, and with a shoe string threaded through two holes in the wood to hang it, a nice make do sort of detail.
