I don’t know about the Anson, but I do not think the one described as 1869 Cincinnati red Stockings is accurate. Hat, bib front and “C” are all wrong, aside from unidentifiable face.
That said, an amazing group, very interesting. Thanks Alan. |

Bob, The inkwell was one of my favorite items in the auction; congratulations on the acquisition! I too was curious how Anson was identified in the Marshalltown tintype. The auction site said it was used in Ken Burns' documentary, but I believe I have read in other board threads that the photos used during that show were not always properly identified. I agree there were more tintypes (at least quality ones) in this auction than I have ever seen before. I remember REA had a number of them about five years ago but the quality of these seemed better. Bruce I wish that tintype was a Red Stocking player but I am glad you got a chance to review it.
