Garrett,
to the best f my knowledge the tintype never sold, in fact, was taken off Amazon and the agent, Kagin's, no longer represents the seller. Also, the supposed location of the tintype,...

Bill,
My comments were in reaction to Will Dunniway, one of the two "experts" who concluded the eBay tintype was Jesse James. (The other expert, Kent Gibson has misidentified a slew of historic...
