The thermoplastic case is circular and meas. approx. 1.75 inches across. Both sides have a raised geometric decoration that is in wonderful condition. Design is very pronounced and has no chips or cracks. The two halves screw and unscrew perfectly.

When separated one half holds a small gem-sized tintype of a bearded 1^st Lieutenant with slightly messy hair wearing a dark frock coat. The buttons, border of the shoulder straps and the 1^st Lieutenant’s rank bars are all touched with gilt.

Image has good clarity and contrast. It is housed in a stamped brass frame with a beaded border.

This is a wonderful little personal item that was probably carried by this officer’s mother, sister or wife.    [ad]
