two antique tintypes photos native american or mexican men, friends history important looking bearded man byTwo original tintypes of men purchased out of a southwestern US estate. These two were purchased along with a larger collection of tintypes, all of which were photos of ethnic people dressed in American style clothing. Some of the girls in the collection had long braids.
