<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9470972, member: 33"]Too bad the image is not clearer. It appears that the man is wearing some sort of long badge on his shirt. That reminds me of a ribbon type of badge from a fraternal or veterans organization. It appears to have strings of beads hanging down, and many of them did. The caps he and the boys are wearing look sort of military but maybe could be fraternal? Not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the tintype might be from the 1880s. Studios often had furry/grassy looking throws on the floors in that decade. The studio looks makeshift, with a blank screen put up behind the people and a fake fence also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
