<p>[QUOTE="rybu5000, post: 9437764, member: 81261"]My initial theory was that it was in fact a medical photo. I do believe the mark on his chest is a scar and not dirt/blemish of the emulsion. I'm not getting many hits at all for shirtless tintypes, and none of the few medical ones i can find have the subject posing. Certainly no staging/backdrops ect.</p><p>Plus his cheeks are tinted.. seems like more of a glamour thing than medical documentation. At any rate, all the other shirtless ferros I've found are obviously boxers, or some type of performer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
