Original U.S. Civil War Era Cased Quarter Plate Tintype Photograph showing Three Railroad Workers MP 34 and are made of goldOriginal Item: Only One Available. Everything about this image, including its presentation, makes it a splendid memento of the Civil War Era. This cased "Quarter Plate" (3. 25 x 4. 25 inch) tin type portrait shows three workmen in white uniforms with "Railroad" style caps. The uniforms they wear are quite soiled, suggesting they might be responsible for putting coal in the burner that fires the boiler. It's also possible that they are naval stokers.
