#15058 - Ninth Plate of a Battered Warrior Rhett moustache
This is a ninth-plate Ruby Glass Ambrotype of a dashing Union soldier who sports a slick Rhett Butler type moustache. No ID yet known. His uniform has sewn on cloth shoulder straps. The picker says the image was bought in Hollis, New Hampshire. Comes in a full leatherette case with original glass and brass mats. Sadly, there are many scratches to the emulsion with loss. A few hit his face, but mostly his visage remains. A pro could "in paint" this someday to fill-in the lost areas. But I think I will just sell him as is....
