1/6 1850s Tintype Photo Handsome Young Man - Gold Miner? NEFF's PATENT For Sale

Sixth-plate tintype behind mat and cover glass, in full case. At first I thought he might have been a sailor, but somebody on messaged and said they strongly believed he was a miner... so I updated the listing title.
Tintype is in very good antique condition. When I opened it up to clean the underside of the glass I noticed it was a thick iron plate with something stamped along the bottom edge.. which I didn't examine closely but I assume it was Neff's Patent. Case covers are separated along the spine.Shipping: Choice of well-packed First Class mailer or boxed Priority Mail.
