<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 1935412, member: 33"]The styles of collar and tie appear to be generally from the mid to late 19th century. (I'm not an expert on that, though). The hairstyle, however, seems to be from the later end of that range. I've looked at photos of all of the presidents from the 19th century and this one, to me, doesn't look much like any of them. I see people have been posting about McKinley. I agree with s_i_s and cluttered that there are big differences between McKinley and the Wedgwood one. Right away I noticed that both the shape of his head and his ears are very different.</p><p><br /></p><p>So perhaps it isn't a President. The etsy listing, if I'm following it correctly, shows a mark on the reverse that is dated either 1968 or 1989, depending whether the two-year date is going the same direction as the Wedgwood mark or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
